GoJet has been removed from the title. Including it offers nothing to the topic at hand.

 

Before I type anything I'd just like to point out that while some of us have been getting a good laugh out of this, It's pretty serious. Having an unstable person in the flight deck is very troublesome. Waving a gun around in public could have gotten someone killed. That being said...

I've been reading this thread and having a good laugh for the last thirty minutes... However, I must now add JET A to the fire...
While an instructor at ATP, the aforementioned GoJetter had a wing strike in the DA-40 at the Tampa location. What did he do afterwards you ask? Well, he ferried (no pun intended) it to JAX CRG and parked it on the ramp, swapping for another aircraft. Low and behold, the next person who went to fly the damaged aircraft noticed something strange. The underside of the left wing looked like someone had taken a belt sander to it. When questioned by ATP management, Mr. Reynolds response, "I don't know, must have happened in CRG"... He didn't work there much longer..

I'm still amazed that ATP didn't tell his next employer about the wing strike, and posts his biography with pride as if spending 60K to work at GoJet is a good thing???

Word is that the boys at Colgan taunted him so much that he quit.

Other lies, fabrications, and falsehoods included:
"I have my ATP" - False at the time
"My father is at Captain at the majors" - False (roofing company owner)
"I have a seaplane rating" - False
"I own a CE-172" - False
"I used to be a police officer" - False-ish (see below)
Officer Clayton Reynolds

However, after "conquering the aviation industry", he still seems to be doing pretty well. See below:

Thank you, a moderator with sound reasoning and common sense.

 

As I said, it was an honest question. The reason I asked is that a founder of a certain aviation forum (which I tried once, and didn't like it) said something to the effect that GJ could not be ALPA represented in the future-even if they wanted to be. I do not have the qoute to copy and paste, so we are relying soley upon my memory. Maybe I misunderstood him. Are you with GoJets?

 

There was a letter sent to Colgan while I was flying for them saying that Clayton saved some little girl's life in Orlando by giving her CPR. It was in the Colgan newsletter and everything... come to find out it was Clay who sent the letter and none of it was true. That is the type of guy he is, and yes the PA to the pax about the brakes on his vet is true.

 

None of this surprises me. He lived in my crashpad while he was in initial. Biggest tool I've ever met. He told everyone his parents were both mmphis based captains for fed ex and they bought a cj1 to commute. Also said his wife was.the daughter or.like some Saudi oil company and was a billionaire.

 

This is incorrect. Let me fill you in. The gojet "union" was brought in by the initial bunch of management pilots in order to head off an attempt at ACTUAL unionization later. They were chosen as the most useless union the company could come up with. (Note: they are NOT represented by the airline division of IBT, but rather a local for parking lot attendants in STL). ALPA would love to get a hold of the gojet pilot group and reintegrate them with TSA. The company, of course, would never let that happen.

 

Ok.. now that that's been answered, lets get back on topic. This thread has very little to do with GoJet so let's give it a rest.

The potential implications on the FFDO program is what alarms me the most about this incident. With the program on the chopping block, some poor publicity is all that's needed to put the final nail in the coffin. Hopefully ALPA and other trade unions can convince lawmakers otherwise.

I wonder if the individual in question will lose their FFDO privileges and/or be charged with a crime or terminated from their employer?...

 

Heck no hes not going to lose his job. They're prpbaly scrambling to find him a management job.

 

that one dude who stole an ipod from a security line got fired from mesa....this guy pulled a gun and illegally held someone!
