No GoJets pilot will ever jumpseat on my aircraft. None of the guys I know at my airline would let them on board either. I don't develop a W&B problem or any other excuse, it's a simple no - end of discusion. Does that count as blacklist?

While I agree with many of your points regarding GoJet, the comment you make about foreign nationals is distasteful and frankly xenophobic. There are plenty of foreign nationals flying at many US airlines just as there are plenty of our pilots flying abroad. You should stick to the valid points and not undermine your otherwise valid argument with cheap shots...

Not quite, leprosy is curable...;)

I have flown with Norwegian, East Indian, Italian, Mexican, and Australian CA's and they have all been great. They all trained in the states, and kept on flying here.

Are you a member of any fascist organizations Willie?

Relax and be carefull, of your comments.

then i'd suggest asking questions instead of making statements that aren't true (see below)

well, you're certainly not writing truth, non-biased or otherwise.

it is clear to me, and to anyone else who was at tsa when the whole gojets thing went down, that you do not know what you are talking about. you were obviously not there when it happened. you have had some people tell you this or that or the other, and you have put together what you think is a nice little narrative about the order of things and the intentions and responses of the various groups involved. but you are wrong.

i've explained the true reality on this board before. if you want to search my posts, you'll find it somewhere. i don't feel like typing it all out again. i lived through it. it's not "biased" in the sense that i don't know exactly what both sides did, because i do. reality is reality.

short version: tsa holdings management purposefully and blatantly violated our contract in the way they started/staffed gojets with pilots. yes, they had to start the company to fly something bigger. our so-called "legally binding" contract laid out exactly what tsa holdings was supposed to do and how they were supposed to do it. they ignored those parts of our contract and did what they wanted to do instead, and got away with it.

every single pilot that went to gojets was therefore a party to that. they, especially the ones that went there from tsa airlines itself, knew what they were doing and who they were doing it to. that is why they, the gojets pilots, are rightly treated as pariahs.

again, do a little research before you go telling us all how it went down. because you don't know what you're talking about.

Are you kidding me?

Let me guess, you went to GoJet for your own gain, and got hired at JetBlue?

Sorry to rain on your parade, but you haven't exactly made the most of your career.

Let me beat you to it: Yes, I work for Mesa, but I am not a scab. You have no retort for that, so don't try.

I do work for a bottom feeder, but I didn't screw someone else out of a job or money. Open your eyes.

If you are defending these guys, having never worked there, then your just as ignornant as they are.

I don't know what's worse: being stupid enough to work there, or being stupid enough to defend the pilots who work/worked there.

"
Most of the guys that go there are foreign nationals and guys you wouldn't want to share a cockpit anyways."

Maybe it's just me but I read his post differently. I thought he said that most people who go there are foreign nationals (nothing wrong with that), AND guys you don't want to work with (emphasis on the comma and the word and....two seperate groups. It's hard on a purely written forum to glein connotation out of this, but that is how I interpret it.

Too much flamebait to keep this open. OP got what he needed so I'm locking this.
