Go Jet Rumor
There has been a lot of bad talk about this upstart airline. I heard through the grapevine that GoJet has acquired a contract with Continental.
If this is true, was Trans States trying to obtain that contract?
Maybe Gojet was formed to get the continental contract and the whole United mess with the sister company was just bad timing for those guys a Trans States?
Food for thought.

Im pretty sure GoJets was started to allow TSA management to get around its Union contracts and impose lower wages to operate larger equipment than they could currently get from their pilots (and FAs? Havent heard much about their part in this). Doesn't matter who's name is painted on the side, GoJets was a work-around entity from the start.

Unless they got the 24 Q400's, the only current CAL RFP was awarded to Republic to fly 69 ERJ's.

Foster,
you are correct, sorta.... Rep. got the award but that deal is now dead, or at the very least in limbo. The deal was predicated upon Con Exp giving up the planes which they didn't. Everybody, republic ASA, comair, skywest, etc. are bidding for that flying. Who's going to get it? I don't have a clue!

So, the fact is, GoJet was created to give Trans States Holdings access to the 70 seat market. Contension over union contracts is effect, not cause.
