Here is a good gojet story I just saw today, my first one!

I was walking behind a pilot in the SW terminal in STL. I saw a guy with a gojet looking hat, but they look the same as Frontier's, so I waited until he got close enough to get a look at his badge. Sure enough, it was a gojetter. He nodded to the pilot who was walking in front of me, and the pilot just kept walking as if the gojet guy didn't exist. It was classic! I couldn't help but look away when I passed the gojet guy. Although I should have made it worse by looking at him with the thought, "why would you go to gojet?" I just looked away. Oh well, whenever I get my four year upgrade at SkyWest I am sure I will have plenty of opportunities to deal with these ...'s then.

 

Unfortunately its true. Unless we want to face some sort of discipline here, we have to let them ride...don't really have to acknowledge them, but have to let them ride.

 

Here's my new idea for letting them get a ride. They all try to pass themselves off as "United" pilots by using the little orange United crew tags on their rollerboards already, so in exchange for a ride they have to cut off that bag tag and give it to me since I'm actually a "real" United pilot and we haven't been able to get one of our own crew bag tags since I got hired last fall. Losers.
Funny Blow jets story though- We arrive in PVD hotel for the overnight and talking to the lady at the front desk of the hotel, I ask what other crews stay here. She goes down the list and gets to Go-Jets and I start laughing. She asks me why everyone hates them so much and calls them scabs, so I break it down simply for her to understand. Then she tells me that one time the van driver came back from picking a ho-jet crew up and when they all walked in the front door she asked what airline they were with. The van driver says "I just picked up the scabs" right in front of them because he didn't know what it meant. LMAO!! Priceless

 

OF COURSE YOU CAN!!! Sorry, O2 levels are two low for a 3 man cockpit crew.

As for in the back...if it is a fairly full flight (1 open seat that you don't want a Gojet ass <literally> in), you just find that seat with the borken arm rest or tray table or whatnot, write it up, and all of a sudden you only have 49 avail. seats.

Just get creative while staying within the rules!!!

 

Or add some fuel for safety of flight...

 

Is it bad to nonrev on them? I was thinking of using them to get me home the other day and didn't know if that was ok. I just ended up taking a later flight but what is the general feeling in a situation like that?

 

i was forced to DH on them while i was still at TSA. the FA and i were both in the exit row, in uniform. there was a BJ CA in one of the seats on the other side of the aisle. the rear FA had the gall to pull out the safety card and hand it to each of us and ask us like we were 12yr olds if we could open the window if we had to.

um, let me see; uniformed crew member and i've actually pulled the plug out and stepped onto the wing. yeah i think i can.

from what i've heard, that kind of attitude and treatment to crews is standard for them.

 

Do United guys have to allow them to non rev?

 

"History
The airline was established in late 2004 by the current owners of Trans States Airlines. The airline was created to undermine the efforts of the Pilots Union at Trans State Airlines. Trans States Holdings was awarded a contract to fly CRJ 700 aircraft for united. The flying should have been flown by Trans States Airline pilots, but the holding company refused to negotiate a fair contract with its workers and started GoJets as an alter ego carrier to bypass the rights of the workers at Trans States Airlines. GoJet was supposed to start on August 4, 2005, but began scheduled passenger services on October 4, 2005 instead. The airline received its initial Air Carrier Operating Certificate in September of 2005. The initial fleet consists of fifteen 66-seat Bombardier CRJ-700 regional jets."

Right out of Wikipedia.

 

Non-revving on a pass is a different animal than jumpseating - unless he investigated, the Captain would have no idea they were even on board...
