I'm not saying it would happen. Just telling people the mood of the old group. Compass and TSA would be an easier move.

No it's not, maybe a few idiot lifers. Most pilots here probably weren't even flying or around when gojet happened. The old gojet guys from 05 are long gone or are lifers in Stl. My view of gojet guys is neutral, if the union wants a merge I'd support it, we need pilots.

I spent most of my FO-hood in the Lou. I'd say the top 2/3 of the seniority list was here for it.

Probably correct but I bet as people start to think about how they might lose seniority in a merger there will be more support for a staple than you might think.

Wrong again Frances. Now the TSA group is larger, and will be around 900 ish by the time we get the last of the UAL aircraft this summer (around 70 total aircraft on property).

Plus if Blowjet starts to lose airplanes due to staffing the likely scenario I've heard is a gradual wind down of the certificate, and giving Blowjet pilots the opportunity to go to other certificates, so McCaskill Bond won't apply....basically a reverse of the TSA scenario...karma is a b@tch, isn't it

That's different than a merger. With a merger it has to be fair and equitable. An arbitrator doesn't care about your wittle feewings getting hurt.

Karma? I made over $19k in January. I'm not sure what you mean.

LOL....wrong again so you have to start throwing your checkbook around the table. I hope you are making good money at mainline. Still doesn't mean you weren't an idiot for giving your services away at Blowjet. And unfortunately it appears there aren't enough fools like you running around to fill Gojet classes these days...

What am I wrong about? Seniority list integrations during a merger? I'm going through one.

BTW - If you count per diem and my 401K DC from the company, I'm actually coming in at over $21K for the month.

And I'm an idiot?

My time at GJ got me here.

You're so butthurt it's hysterical. Again, I really hope you like the 145.

Cool. So when I get to mainline I'll make 21K, plus I'll have a nice fat bank account already when I get there because I wasn't stupid to enough to work for peanuts like you. The only one who's butthurt here is you, because to hide your stupidity you have to be all butthurt and defend the indefensible....working at Gojet and giving your services away for NOTHING...

See Gojet idiots like you don't get it. I could care less what I fly, so your little digs about the 145 don't mean squat. All I care about is the paycheck, which is very nice these days.

But not nearly as big as mine. .

and it's not a dig at the type of airplane. you haven't figured that out yet? The internet isn't as anonymous as you think...
