Default GoJets question

Question: Are the pilots at GoJets on a master "black list" of some sort?

Sorry don't know much about he reginals but know of someone that is trying to break into the flying business.

They say it's true...and it's been done in the past, so yes, I'd say it's highly likely.

its not a blacklist, its a magical scarlet S for scab that appears on their shirts during interviews!!

in all reality the majors dont care about the union/non-unoin bs that goes on in the regionals. Gojet pilots go on to the majors like everyone else

The master list you refer to is the alpa national scab list, which goes back to the 1930s. Since go-jetters are not scabs (technically) they are not on that list.

There are however seperate lists in circulation for both the Freedom A and gojet pilot groups (and presumably a few others as well).

There are plenty of folks who will remember...do you want to run into one of us at a crucial career juncture such as an interview?

Bottom Line: Don't do gojets. I suspect you already know the right answer and are just wondering if you will get caught. Maybe, maybe not, but you will still have to live with yourself. There are plenty of other airlines hiring...

Imagine having a former TSA guy on your interview board at that big interview at SWA, CAL, FDX or UPS. Uncomfortable....

There are also a ton of regionals hiring with relatively low minimums right now that have better pay and work rules. Why not go somewhere that will be more appealing in the long run?
