I call shenanigins on that. I rode 'em this weekend. The problem is while it might feel good to deny one of those kucfers the seat, what's a commuter to do if United puts a GoJet flight (or flights) on the route you commute? I don't know what the breakdown is, but I was cerntainly under the impreswsion they didn't have that many commuters (since it obviously would be a ***** to commute).

I'm not suggesting service with a smile, but in an all out ****ing match all partipants end up smelling like urine.

I just do not see how this will help any of the problems now.

From what I have been reading here, everyone that does hate them will hate them.
I just cannot see the good of not letting them on your planes anymore.
If you are going to be mad about it, then thats fine, but you could let them and not treat them the same as you would someone else, and they might feel bad too.

I think there is something like this over on the majors forum, so I doubt this is completely my own thought.

When you understand the dynamics of negotiating a contract, you'll appreciate why these people and their alter-ego scab company are so bad for our industry.

Good move on ALPA's behalf.

Go find a joke forum if you want to sling insults. That's all we are asking. You don't have to be super serious but there is no need at all to be rude and childish.

We've PM'd a couple of times and you seem like a nice enough guy, why make everyone hate you and ignore you. You may actually have something worth saying someday and it will only get overlooked because of your previous postings.

Once you are in it for a while you will find its a really small business I don't know that a picture of yourself is a great career move, people remember!





I am not sure skipping out on XJT and going to COlgan to fly a 1900 is a great career move either

How can you call someone a FOKKER under your breath yet still ask them for a ride.....INCREDIBLE......You are a class act. As far as being an impossible commute, Not true, once in awhile, I will get denied but its still better than being unemployed. I just remember the guys that have denied me and their day will come.

Bottom line is that I can always ride mainline.....they don't accept all this childish BS. If a guy wants to get to work....or get home to his family, they are more than happy to help another.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe there are any TSA guys that are unemployed as a result of GoJet... In fact, they are hiring like crazy right now.

lost is what I meant, or even affected by GOJETS

Who went to Colgan?

Secondly I am home EVERY NIGHT by 1:30 in the afternoon! 4 days a week and burning jet fuel. My quality of life RULES!

Further more I doubt I will be getting furloughed too soon. It is nice to say that with some certainty.

Notice how I said all of that with out flaming or insulting you or anyone else.
