That'll solve it.
yes I know it does,

But the point of something practical does.

I wish for the same thing,

But through unions into the mix, mangement into the mix.

Then the odds of a black hole from outer ****ing space spitting out the right powerball numbers starts to seem more likely

Sorry, that's a personal detail I shall keep to myself. But if it'll help keep you from jumping to any faulty conclusions....no, I don't work for any company in the TSA Holdings family.

OK I'll admit I didn't read all 25 pages of this but here's something you GOatJet fans might not have considered. Skybus(t) is in town (Columbus)and currently they're the biggest dog getting beat. When you pay Airbus CA's approximately GoJet RJ CA wages (first yr. $60 K) and require new hires to bring their own laptop to class, you're setting a new low standard. So there's hope for you yet!

The continuing bad attitudes towards the GOatJetters has something to do with the mob rule mentality and class warfare ('us against them'); ex: I still don't talk to the GoJet Pilots in the PWM van, but I'll say hello to the FA's they're not bad looking). Someone has to be the bad guys - it make things interesting. But the GOatJet pilots are people too. If you live in STL and don't care about being vilified in the airports and hotels you'll be working out of, GO for it (pun intended at 1 AM).

Haha, that's a new twist that some might see as a way to get back at the BlowJet pilots...carry on a nice conversation with the FA's, but ignore the pilots. Hmmmm.....

The real reason I posted...I can't believe this is STILL GOING.

So, at what point, blackwing, was TSA created to circumvent the Eagle contract to fly larger planes at crap rates? Or lousier working conditions? Let me know... I was pretty sure TSA was in existence well before... At least as long as the 17 year contract Eagle signed... And if I recall correctly, was not TSA MEC chairman down there with Eagle picketing?? If my facts are wrong, please enlighten me...

Wow !60 g a year for a left seat,I was making that in the 80,s right seating a 47 .But then again we are talking reg pay after all and an entirely different time in av hist.I guess 25 pages on this is ok when compared to another site that had a 1000 plus entries about A BA 777 accident last month.

God how I hate the 21st century!

TSA was not created solely for the purpose of getting around an Eagle CBA the way GoJet was......why is that such a difficult concept for you to understand? You can spin it any way you want but if you actually did some research on the subject, you'd find what the majority of these pilots are saying is true. Then again you point to "other reasons" for the formation of GoJet yet, again, you have not provided one shred of documentation to support that "opinion".

GoJet was created by TSH to allow the company to fly 70 seat jets. Due to scope at American, TSA cannot fly any jet larger than 50 seats. Therefor, TSH created a "new" airline to do the flying. Thats all fine and dandy if you keep one seniority list as Republic has. We all know that isn't the case.
