Yes, serious as cancer.

Last overnight I had wasn't in Shanghai or Moscow or London so if my existance at a regional is chapping the ____of a mainline guy/gal sitting in his/her hotel room in one of these said cities I really won't be losing too much sleep over it. I second the question......you a proud GJ pilot BRO?

 

I'm wondering how they plan on staffing the place. There are several companies with dropped mins that are better work environments.

Another thought is how long until people start to forgive the pilots there? Freedom had the initial "A listers" and now, while agreed it is a supper crappy place to work, it seems the new ones aren't being punished or scrutinized much. GoJets now has established pay scales, union representation, and apparently is growing.

 

Dude the new Freedom folks were still in high school at pep rallies when the Freedom A thing went down. No need to scrutinize them and why punish them? Working there is punishment enough. The A list is out there. Beyond that the Freedom B folks are legit.

 

Its amazing how anonymity will give a person balls. Keep flipping your I.D. badge around.

 

Joe I understand that and that was the point. At what point do we accept GoJets as a regional carrier and consider the "newhires" legit?

 

This is a professional forum. Keep the flamebait and insults to yourselves. Either discuss it in a professional manner or take it to flightinfo.

 

Oh ok, just misunderstood it I guess.
As far as GoJets I'd say its going to be quite some time before anyone considers accepting them. I think once the Freedom folks became ALPA is when they became legit. As long as GoJets was started under the auspices of undermining the Trans States folks in a nonunion manner and remaining that way, I'd say they are SOL.

 

ok EMB FO.....Im sure your vast experience will school me on the industry...

as for balls I have never seen such cowards as young regional FOs that talk smack on here but run and hide in public.....I know furloughed AA that work at Gojet and they say no one has BALLS to say a thing ....they just laugh at you.

I am not a Gojet pilot....but I sure would say if I was....a matter a fact if it makes you dry out your eyes .....you can say I am all you want......

I love to see regional boys get a slice of their own......keep flying bigger planes ( painted in mainline colors on their routes ) and then complain when someone 'steals' your flying :-)

why do you think mainline pilots had to give away that flying.....the bar was being lowerd by SJS'rs and they had no choice since you were willing to do their job for pennies on a $......thanks for brining it down for all of us

Bottom line the Mainline attitude on this is.....well there is none.....and never will be....those guys are getting hired anywhere they want...get over it and insert your binkys boys!
NEVER FORGET

 

Which post was over-the-top?

 

Have the size of their fleets shrunk? How many routes did they actually give up? Last I checked I never saw a mainline flight from Houston to Odessa or Cincinnati to Dayton. Regionals exist because there was market availability for them. Regionals didn't "steal" anyone's flying. They simply became part of the infrastructure opening air travel to more markets and more people.
