I am highly aware about the state of outsourcing flying to the regionals and flying bigger airplanes for puke wages. In my own opinion, all regionals have their own issues. Some are better with respect to having contracts and what not but what is the real problem in this industry? As mainline flying starts to shrink, the possibility of being stuck at a regional is not far fetched. In that case you don't want to get stuck at Gojet.

Who cares where somebody works. Do the furloughed jet for jobs United guys catch slack and flamebait for working at GoJet? They should, they replaced themselves for a third the wage, talk about stupid. My whole point being, I am pretty sure this industry has way other problems then to worry about where somebody works.

I happen to work for arguably one of the worst, pathetic and embarrassing regionals to ever operate and yes it is an all turboprop circus.But you didn't stab anyone in the back to get there. I am biased about not having any jet time because apparently I am looked at differently by some hiring boards. Anybody else see this as another problem? Realistically speaking here, do the GoJet pilots really have problems jumpseating? I've never had one ask, but the answer is no. We can rant and rave all day long on here but who is gonna be the one to deny a jumpseater just because they work for a certain carrier? As a commuter myself, it sucks regardless. I don't care who you work for but you are welcome in my jumpseat. The guy/gal you just denied didn't make it home that night to see his family. He would have if he hadn't felt it necessary to stab his brothers in the back to get ahead. Couch in a crew room is a good thinking spot.

Hmmm. Which one? Once in a while in order to succeed, you need to bet on the underdog. Also, If I was ever denied a JS or confronted about working there,it would not be pretty.

I'm guessing you work for Commutair, if that's the case just imagine how you would feel if Commutair management took the money you earn for them and created another airline. Then hired for it and completely circumvented your seniority, then grew said airline. Trans States Holdings is not your personal airline. It is a privately owned airline and they can do whatever they want with their earnings. If you don't like the way they choose to spend their profits - go work somewhere else.

It should tell everyone something that gojet still has a hard time filling classes in this environment. Is any other regional having any trouble getting people in class? Yes, American Eagle is starting to hire 500/50 pilots because they are having problems filling classes.

You can do whatever you want. Maybe you will get ahead by going to Gojet. I won't. Even if it would result in me upgrading to NASA. Why? I have to look at myself in the mirror, and I don't want to be that level of hypocrite. If you worked for GM and Ford offered you a job with better equipment and better pay would you take it? Of course you would. Get off your soapbox.

I still stand for something. You do whatever you feel comfortable with, but if you go to Gojet I don't want to hear any complaining about scope or outsourcing or any of those issues ever again. "I still stand for something." - You work for TSA right? Tell us all how you are holier than thou when you work for a C list regional.

Part of the problem or part of the solution. - Exactly. The more the soldier ranks fight amongst themselves there will never be any unity. Management has you exactly where they want you.
