With all the pilots on the street now, are there a lot of major and other regional pilots getting on with Gojets? What are the opinions of pilots that are furloughed that go there? Are they the same as the original folks that went to Gojets?

seeing as how they are still hiring (and supposedly getting airplanes, although i don't know about that), and we (trans states) are furloughing and downgrading and displacing, yet we're both under the same holding company and trans states pilots should be flying those planes to begin with, i still feel disgust toward anyone that goes there, furloughed or not. thats just my opinion, not looking to argue with anyone about it either.

GoJets may not be the airline of choice for allot of you but at least its keeping food on the table and a roof over the heads of our brothers and their families, when things get better allot of the people at GoJets might move on to something better….they might not want to be at GoJets but hey…family comes first!…..that’s my opinion, I would do the same for my family.

I'm making more working retail than I would at GJ. I'm sorry, but there are lots of other ways to put food on the table and that $20k isn't going to go very far anyway.
AirTrucker, there's more to life than flying. Working for less and undercutting your brothers and sisters isn't reallly doing much to help.

I bet all of those guys are doing what they can to get jobs (including TS) to help out there families. My point is Carl is that there is nothing wrong with doing what you have to do to support your family in hard times! I figured I would get flamed for my comment but that’s ok, its my opinion and that’s the only thing that matters to me.
There are plenty of alternatives to flying for GoJet. Get a job at Home Depot, Sam's Club, in construction, go back to school, get an instructor job. Do anything else but work for GoJet.
It's a lot like the Ford Model T: You can have it in any color you want, as long as it's black.
Same goes for jobs and supporting your family: You can have any job you want, as long as it's NOT for GoJet.
