Hmm...and you TSAers flying former Eagle 145s for less pay than Eagle as American Connection is raising the bar too? Or maybe you weren't even an airline pilot back when all that went down (2001-2002). Oh, but this is a bash GoJet only thread I guess...
Bottom line: TSA, Eagle, GoJet, whatever regional you talk about, at some point or another has screwed another. Let's all get over it and move on. Isn't the goal to get your time and move on to better things anyway?

TSA wasn't created to get around the Eagle contract, GoJet was.
Eagle needed to rid itself of 10 airplanes due to the arrival of 25 CRJ-700's. AA decided to lease them to TSA instead of selling them to the competition. With TSA operating them as AA Connection AA would still be receiving revenue from those aircraft.

But at any rate. TSAers and others have opinions about GoJetters, Eagle guys and others have opinions about TSAers and CHQers, etc. Doubtfully that anyone will change their respective opinions anytime soon.
With that in mind, fly safe and have a nice day.

Actually no. The TWA contracts were one thing, and were not associated with the tranfer of 8 EMB-145s from Eagle to fly as American Connection. Two separate issues. The 8 aircraft left Eagle to comply with an AA pilot scope clause. But it ended up being an end-around their scope clause AND our scope clause at Eagle, as the 8 aircraft ended up under operation control of AMR Corp., and flying as Connection for AA. Does that seem right to you? Much like the GoJet was an end-around TSA?

So because there was already a carrier to switch the flying to, that was OK, and those pilots that got hired to fly the extra aircraft, they are all great guys...but when they create a carrier to switch it to because they don't have one handy, that makes it the pilots of that carrier all the spawn of Satan? Sure, that makes sense. So the worse thing about GoJet is that is was not Mesa or someone else?

I'm done with this thread. I wish everyone a safe and happy flying career.
Take everything into account when making career decisions and if it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
