No GoJets in our jumpseats
#61
That's BS and you know it, don't let their sorry excuses get to you. These guys took jobs with GoJet for their own selfish reasons, not cause they had to. Just cause GoJet is the first airline to knock on the door doesn't make it ok to take it. In the last few years there have been plenty of regional jobs available for those with respectable times. And while choosing exactly what regional to fly for may be a luxury, you don't have to choose an exact one, you just have to avoid a couple. I stand by my previous post, they're selfish pilots looking to undercut other pilots for their own reasons.

The talk about TSA pilots never losing jobs as a result of GoJets is incorrect. The reason they are "hiring like crazy!!!" right now is cuz they furloughed 60 pilots and by the middle of that month another 36 had quit on their own. When they called said furloughs back...6 went. Out of 60. So yea, they're hiring like crazy over there...
Some TSA furloughees were told it was due to United decreasing the amount of flying they would be doing. When getting furloughed, one thoughtful pilot said "Really? And those routes you just mentioned aren't going to GoJets, right?" "Nope...United is dropping them completely. This is NOT a result of GoJets." TSA pilot then goes home, looks up flight along said route and surprise surprise...it's a GoJet route.
So how do you solve the GoJet question? No amount of jumpseat denials is going to make pilots stop working for them. It's just going to prevent some guy from getting home to his family...that wouldn't make me rethink my career decision, it would make me think that Captain is d!ck. I don't really have any respect for GoJets at all...but one thing I read on here with a certain amount of consistency is that anytime two pilot groups fight each other, they both lose.

LMAO!!! Was that a serious comment? This coming from a guy who left Colgan to get on with an airline that is LOSING work. You could have gone to any regional that is known to be expanding, and yet you picked the only one that is getting its lift cut. That is priceless!!! Dude, I seriously hope no one gets furloughed at XJT but thanks for the laugh.
