And you think that why?

The rumor on the street is that Go Jerks went to US Airways and said that they wanted PSA's 700's. Because they could operate them for cheaper.
We know that this has some value because PSA's management has openly suggested during contract negotiations to scrap PSA's 401k plan in order to be competitive with Go Jerks and keep the 700's.
Negotiation ploy? Most likely. Would i put it past Go Jer.......s? No!

I don't believe our scope section would allow this as long as the aircraft are leased by US Airways. However, when the leases expire, it is not inconceivable that a transfer of airframes could occur to the likes of Go Jet.

GoJetzzz can actually find 32-40 pilots to show up for a class there? If that's true, it's pathetic.

There's a pilot shortage

For better or for worse, most of these guys and gals are ex-Comair folks.

From what I've heard they are having no problem filling classes. Upgrade as soon as you have the time. Junior Capt is Apr 2012 hire. I don't think there is any other regional within 2 years of that.

I don't understand why any ex-Comair person would ever go to GoJetzzzz or any other regional for that matter. The guys left there were all Captains at one point and must have thousands of hours of total time and at least a decent amount of turbine PIC. There have got to be some corporate jobs or maybe Spirit or something else out there.

Honestly 8+ years at a company to start all over on food stamp wages at a place that has the one of the worst if not the worst contracts in an industry segment full of horrific contracts.

The room is full of fat ugly chicks (regional industry), why go pick the fattest, ugliest, and loudest one around?

This isn't accurate. There were many 6+ year FOs (possibly even more junior than that) that were there when the doors closed that never had the chance to upgrade there.

And for the fat, ugly chick comment...maybe because she puts out?? Many of these FOs that are going to GoJet have the time to upgrade almost immediately.

These are the people that held out at Comair for years passing up the opportunities that have existed over the last decade. Yes it has been tight but there have been plenty of opportunities for a qualified pilot to move out of the regionals. It bit them pretty hard.... they might not be that smart but they still do need a job.
