A strike center will do you no good if it takes you over the cliff.... good luck. Other airlines will really appreciate your hard stand for a day and move right in the next to take over you ERJ flying... Just remember it's all about compromises and unfortunately management has all the leverage despite what that vars says. This is not flamebait, seriously trying to make a point. Let's not forget the past. It's very obvious that Hulas wants TSA to become Gojet.

I think the majority of the pilot group is willing to go over the cliff if it gets to that point. I agree that there has to be compromise but that doesn't mean that you do whatever management wants you to. It means they get some of the things they want and the pilots get some of the things the want. Neither side gets everything. There is, however, a limit to what the pilots will accept and management's offers do not come anywhere close to our limits.

BURFLYER
And why wouldn't you want us to go over the cliff? That means more flying for you and your boys at the GJ!
Also, although the general consensus is that we don't deny GoJetters jumpseats, do not try to get on my plane when you jump to the other side (making it harder for us to get a good contract) just to take the recall to TSA and reap the benefits when and if everything turns around! It sickens me that you feign to support our cause. Just like I told a GJ captain who asked when I was getting furloughed...Don't pretend like you care!

As if you're the only one.
CaptainCarl is, I am, MANY of us are. Don't try to pretend that we don't know what its like. We've been to the unemployment offices, we've sat with ex-cons trying to get additional training from the government, we've filled out countless job applications. I refuse to advance my career on the backs of other pilots...REFUSE!

You can't use that "I have to feed my family" crap either. I can think of a dozen jobs one can get that would pay them the same crappy $20,000 per year, work less hours, and they would be home every night. If g0jets was the only option, I would turn my ATP in and be done with it.

Quit it with this whole "You don't understand how hard it is to be me cause I got furloughed with my lifetime of experience" crapp!

a guy tried to sell me some drugs there-- i rationalized with the guy-- im unemployed, do you really think i have any money? Iditot.
using the whole family as an excuse is pretty sad for a job-- if they were than important - maybe you shouldnt be gone 15-20 nights a month-- f'n hippocrites.
skippy-- hold the line or burn the place down and get what you want, dont settle for the "we're to poor routine", Thats a classic lawyer routine-- all he does is delay---its just more money for down payments on newer 700's at geauxjet---- now thats really hippocritical.
