Freeze,
Just like you didn't call him a scab, I'm not calling AE 'scab-like'. It was an example, I'm guessing now - a poor example, of how companies put jets online that ultimately brought huge reductions in airline pilot pay. If 10 or so years ago, the majors and commuters said 'No way' to RJs, maybe many RJ drivers would be junior FOs on F100s or 737s at the majors....who knows??
But, back on topic - AE, gojets and others are here...let's give the Baron the best info for his decision.

What would you do if your pilot group struck and because you were on probation? Would you go to work or be fired. I'm sure all would say that they would get fired. I wouldn't blame a guy for going to work. If he was off probation, than another story.
My question could happen to a lot at Pinnacle.

Since 75 posts went by and I have not got much out of it, allow me to ask:
Has the GJ contract a real repercussion on the airline industry? Has any of you been affected by the existence of GJ?
To my knowledge any economic system is dictated by the supply and demand. Now, how far do you think the airlines can really strech their contract?
I do not know many people willing to spend extensive time, bags of money and a lot of frustration in training to be an airline pilot. Since pilots constitute the supply, the airlines being the demand, the contracts are subject to natural limits. NO PILOTS= NO AIRLINE.

Here is my question:
(and no, I have no aspirations for GoJet)
Is there anything that can occur to make people at GoJet not looked down upon? Is the only answer a merged seniority list with TSA, and if this happens is it ok to work for them? What, if any, are the ways that GoJet can be "respectable"? Thanks in advance for the replies.

What I will never understand is if GoJet started with five airlplanes and the first thirty five pilots that went over were Trans States Pilots than why would it be a problem for guys off the street to work for GoJet.
If the Trans States guys that were there thought that it was a good deal than why should an unemployed pilot think think different.

Blah, blah, blah... None of you GoJet haters has given a reason why you hate Go Jet. I'd really like to know as well. I came from the military straight to UPS like many others here. I've asked many of the capts and FOs I have flown and jumpseated with about Go Jet and none of them have ever heard of it.
So someone educate the ignorant on why Go Jet should be shunned.
