And too bad it can't actually be mainline via realignment of aircraft.

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!

"Go Jerks"...gee how witty! You make yourself sound so erudite...

GoJet will be bankrupt by 2014.

Unfortunately I doubt it, the pilot group would more than likely take even further cuts in pay and bennes in order to continue to lower the bar.

Pilot pay is a small percentage of the overall equation, specially in Go Jet where pilot compensation and total cost are the lowest in the industry, if this company will go belly up the pilots won't be able to save it, but I have no doubt they will try :D

It bit them pretty hard.... they might not be that smart but they still do need a job.

Right...we all just sat around for decades, while jobs were handed to us on silver platters. We didn't want any of them, we preferred to wait around until the company was broken up, so we could crawl to GAYJets and beg for a nice job.

Too bad none of us are as smart as you are.

They'll pay the company to keep their "job" of flying the 7s and potential rumored 9s.

Saddle up, it's GoJetsssssssss time.

Do you realize what a stupid comment this is? You might wanna go back and read what you said again. Going to a major or legacy isn't as easy as you say it is.
