I know we have furloughed guys over there right now as well. I understand the fact that the original go jet fiasco happened years ago. But why does the pilot group still act the same way it did when the company was created? Is it just apathy that nobody there wants to actually change the place for the better? Or is it because people are scared to make anything happen? Am I wrong in thinking that most positions of power in that company are still held by people that created the company in the first place? Why doesn't the union accept the trans states holdings letter that allows furloughed TSA guys half longevity?

So when is GoJet going to start handing out the signing bonuses?

If the birth of GoJet is as bad as claimed, then why was there never a grievance filed?

Because they skipped right to a lawsuit. Which they lost because the companies had separate websites. (which, obviously, meant that they were separate companies)

IMO, whether we like to admit it or not, corruption is just as prevalent in this country as it is others. We're just better at hiding it. No judge in his right mind should have sided with the company on GoJet's formation. But, of course, some judge did. I can only wonder why...

Was that the same judge that threw out Comair's contract because Delta said "If the pilots were cheaper, we could give Comair more planes."

Why was there no appeal to NMB decision regarding the single carrier petition?

Oh, and for the clowns denying jumpseats based on airline affiliation with current reciprocal agreement, remember that while you may not need a ride from GoJet or USAir East/West, your fellow pilots AT YOUR OWN airline may and by being an immature kid on a 4-stripe power trip may just cause your friend/classmate at your own airline to get left behind. Karma is a b!tch.

Leave politics out of jumpseats.

You now may resume your childish bickering over who sucks and who's a scab.

That doesn't happen as Go Jet pilots commute all of the time with no more hassle than any other airline pilot. When you hear about GJ pilots being denied jumpseats, it is just BS and Internet message board dramatics.

Basically with the court ruling.... They were able to observe the freedom debacle and see the ruling on that case. This gave the company a playbook to run the creation of go jet without failing like freedom.
