Go Jet
 

From another thread;

In spite of what was said in another prematurely closed thread by whatever overzealous and biased moderator, this is a good point. GoJet DOES INDEED deserve a place on this forum like ANY other regional. Regionals are regionals.

Ha! I do not work for Go Jet and am not hating, But........ oh I will stop typing b4 I get in trouble.

Am in....

Too many people drinking cervezas and logging on here tonight I guess:p

In before the lock!

Actually, not all regionals are the same.

There are some regionals which provide connection to a mainline in aircraft the mainline could not afford to support: light twin and turbo prop operators.

Then there are some regoionals which have both augmented and eroded mainline operations: the RJ operators.

Then there is a third group of regionals which circumvent all mainlines, regionals, and unions......

Jsh...speaking fact! Amen brother. Lots of beers here.

Making blanket statements like all regionals are the same is pure idiocy. Just like saying all majors are the same.

All regional are the same.

Simple And More Exacting.

Or if you are bold

Simpler And More Efficient
;)

Beers for you sir.

The grey is the in between...is a 37 seat ERJ a problem? How about a 74 seat turboprop?

Though I'll make no argument about being biased, I don't see any problem with sub-50 seat turboprops at regional/commuter carriers. Mainline can't profitably run things Dash/ATR sized with the current economy and market conditions. The simple fact that the turboprop lacks in speed will keep it from being used on routes where the CRJ/ERJ are jumping dangerously into mainline territory.

It's sad that AA is trying to go to a B-scale on pilot wages...because a 50-seats-and-up mainline contract is exactly what this industry needs more of.

Shucks, thanks. But if you're buying, I'll take a scotch. After all that's what REAL pilots drink. :D

Q 400's should be scoped as well. I hope we don't get another one over at pinnacolaba

Honestly, I don't think it is just seats, I think it is a blend of seat AND range.

Make scope limits something like 15000 seat miles. That would mean a regional could fly a Saab 440 miles (34*440=1500), a 50 seat jet 300 miles, a 70 seat Q400 210 miles.

Heck, we could even have a regional flying an A380, but the only route would be the LGA to JFK shuttle. :D

Just for perspective, is anyone familiar with how airlines in other parts of the world set up their scope? I'm unfamiliar what airlines like British Airways, Qantas, or Lufthansa have in place.

Taking this out of context like you have is pure idiocy. I guess I have to spell it out for you and maybe some others. In regard to the ethics of hiring on right now, all regionals are the same. They're all bad for the industry. To blame one is pure hypocrisy.

Failure to Communicate
 

Like the "overzealous" moderator who shut down the last GoJet thread said, "If you can come up with something to actually discuss with regards to the subject then feel free to start a thread, but a pointless post like this isn't going to cut it." And since you ain't got nothing useful to add at this time, this thread serves no purpose.

+1

The gojet guys don't see what they're doing to the industry. All they can see is the pretty CRJ-700 that they're being underpaid to fly.
