Default Letter from a gojets pilot

So much for the happy gojets pilot myth. Why am I not surprised?

Looks like a letter from any regional pilot. What is your point? And more importantly does it matter? The people responsible on both sides are long gone. Just let it go, it's 2009. Oct class full of UA, courtesy of ALPA.

Pilots being fired for no reason? Good thing they are "unionized". Just enough union for them to say, "its ok, were union now", with none of the benefits.

And, no AirWillie, its not a letter from any regional pilot. Its a letter from a regional pilot who is scared for his job because he does not have a union to stand behind him. When he makes a comparison that makes TSA of all places look like the perfect job, that really says something.

That letter sounds very accurate. At least from my experience at GoJets. I was fired after 5 hours of the first day of class. That was after of course JZ, DF, and MC all came in to tell us how laid back and what a great place this is to work. I went home after lunch because I was supposedly overheard making fun of "my illustrious career at GoJet."

Daamn, looks like we all need prayers. But surely some need the prayers more than others do.

How many of you furloughed TSA guys went to Go Jets?

'AirWillie's current employer, GoJets, might explain his response.
