FlyingKat, your vag is showing. I was at GoJet in 2005. The majority of my Captains were former TransStates pilots. We never turned our badges around backwards and we continuously jumpseated on TransStates flights to and from St. Louis. The majority of the flights on TransStates flights the crews were very gracious but there were a few Captains, like you that had their panties in a wad but I was never denied a js and we never turned our badges around. Not once in 4.5 years.

Well you might want to see the presentation that was given to Pinnacle pilots to get them to vote for concessions. The point was very clearly made that Delta wanted Pinnacle close to Gojet costs because they were the cheapest in DL connection. Sorry if the truth hurts.

LOL exactly. 757 and all the TSA haters right now are telling people to go to Compass when it is run by the same management at holdings AND is run by the DO that made TSA such an oppressive place to work for years. Shows just how clueless they are.....

This is terrific. Any of you beaches got stock advice for me?
I never said Delta was done with G7. Delta loves G7 because you guys are willing to give your services away which allows them to use you to whipsaw other carriers and pilot groups into concessions.

Which is why as the pilot pool dries up, and smarter people are not willing to come to Gojet and give away their services Gojet will eventually implode and be consolidated within TSA holdings.

Oh yeah they got a hell of a deal. Start all over at the same company. Wow gee thanks. TSA will give Gojet the same in return.....A STAPLE...

Search that article for references to GJ and you will see their perfrormance metrics suck, which we all know. If I had more time I'm sure I could find more data, so if anyone cares to, feel free. Anecdotally, I made reference recently to a mainline jumpseater who *two* legs it on other regionals than straight shot it on Gojets. Fittingly, as we pushed back his one leg Gojets flight was being towed back in for MX.

There is one reason GJ is kept in the porfolio given their historic and well known poor performance. We all know what that reason is. I'm sure I'll get attacked like I'm trying to be rude, but its the honest to God truth.
Yes and as an Ex Pinnacle guy you have probably seen the table with all the pilot costs at DL connection to prove it.

Well I wasnt at TSA at the time, and oh yes they did on the van every morning it was hilarious. Are you talking about the same TSA guys that were illegally using their TSA crew IDs when jumpseating because they didn't want to use their Gojet ID and risk getting kicked off the Jumpseat?

And the TSA guys were nice only because of the MW death threat memo....

Was hilarious when I saw that memo......

You have a great talent of talking out of your mouth AND your back end at the same time. My hat is off to you.

There is NO truth to GoJet pilots turning their badges around or acting "sheepish" around anyone.
Your "truth" doesn't hurt me at all. I did my time working for that terrible owner. You keep "holding up that bar" and I will enjoy my 17 days off per month, 1-2 legs per day 24-26.5 hour four day trips. Don't forget to shine your Vulcan hat emblem.
