Of course - I stand corrected

 

Simple, it's called:

Jerry Atkin's Black Label Backyard Dixie Moonshine Kool-Aid! or just simply Dixie College Hooch!

and most of the pilot's here drink a lot of it.

 

Geez JJ, you crack me up. That's hilarious!

 

Yes it's an Atkins’ & SKW family tradition as well as an Atkins’ family recipe pasted down from Jerry’s great grandfather Jedediah. LOL!

I to have found myself drinking it at times but after my wife told me one morning that I was up all night howling at the moon and claiming to the GODS that Jerry must be one of them, I had to cut back. Now day's I drink in moderation while fully respecting the "8 hr from Jerry's bottle to throttle" rule.

PS. this is not a knock on SKW pilots, we are a great group but a little to trusting.

"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.

OK I have a couple question here....
Were those pilots taken from TSA (pilot group) to start flying the NEW AIRLINE?
Why didn't TSA pilot went on strike to opposed the magnament?
I think the scabs are the people from magnament...right?
The way I see it (maybe i'm wrong) is,the magnament put a add looking for pilots and people looking for job started applying maybe without knowing the situation.
Correct me if Im wrong.
go jet payscale is not as bad as some other companies like MESA,PIEDMONT,MESABA etc.
thank you

 

Mesaba's payscale ain't that bad we make just under 23 an hour, talk to those 9E guys that are trying to get more...I don't blame em, we're all practically living in cardboard boxes these days

 

Some went....the dirty filth that they are..

Not that simple... esp when ALPA is still out looking for its backbone

Scabs= all blowjet pilots, i dont care if you "didnt research my job before going"

Then they are very stupid for doing so.
Quick story, I was forced to dh on them once and as we are getting off the plane, the FO comes over to me and the captain and says sorry and that she didnt know what she was getting into and has already accepted another job at another airline. Thats the only time I have ever acknowledged a blowjetter


Still lower than it should be for 70 seats, plus the contract sucks.

 

When going to ORD I like to eat at this place in the F gates down towards the end. I always see some Go jetters there. They don't seem to be ashamed in any way, they got big wing patches on their jackets chit chatting with each other. Is that their gates down there something?

 

i like your picture. I got a similar one.. NO ALTER EAGLE

 

Mmm...Gyro's.

But back to the subject - I have noticed that in the last few months, they've become quite bold...even leaving their hats with that nasty brass in clear sight! They fly out of the F-gates quite a bit, as well as E2/E3, B22, and the C-gates.
