Thats how EVERYONE gets contracts. Its called competition. Its expected in business. The FACT is...Gojet was created for the SOLE PURPOSE of undercutting. GoJet exists for one reason, and one reason only...to UNDERCUT. Don't confuse competitive business practices (legitiment) with Alter-Ego operations (illegitiment).

oh...and kingbird might have the best avatar on APC. just sayin.

Pinnacle guys did that on the -900 to a degree. We were told we were getting -900's and people bid them WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THE PAY RATE WOULD BE. Except for the guys already in ATL that wouldn't have to commute to fly them, they were the laughing stock of the company/industry and a prime example of SJS. So you are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. Good for them for not flying an aircraft without a known pay rate. Cause you know darn well Hulas would have wanted them to fly bigger airplanes at the same rate. Apparently you didn't see the shabby rate Pinnacle wanted to pay the -900 guys who opted to fly it without a known pay scale. Even the arbitrated rate wasn't that stellar....

Your upset and blame GoJet for all of your problems. This thread is about GoJet interviewing and information.

Exactly. I met several TSA guys while in STL the last two days, one who has been at G7 since Jan 3, and several others at the interview, all a bunch of nice people who seem to understand the reality of this industry. Those at the interview with me (TSA guys) were given an especially warm welcome by the G7 Recruiting Team. While this Country is founded upon democracy, it is ruled by a free market economy; what the market will bear. FWIW, the G7 team were very professional, kind, and accomadating. My hats off to them.

The people at gojet are friendly, easy to be around, and easy to work with. The pilot group is made up of a great bunch of people, and the FA group is as well.

the management/labor relationship is another story, however (as it is most anywhere). There are some issues that need addressing, but the morale of the employee group is for the most part, good.

I just like how every negative comment on this thread about G7 must be from a TSA guy. A lot of them aren't. I have been and continue to hope that maybe there will be enough ex TSA/comair/whoever else joining G7 to actually make a difference at that place. The "union" is a joke and I've heard plenty of stories of the company operating by fear and intimidation from G7 guys themselves. All I'm saying is try to make it a better place to work. And I'm not saying if it is true or not .... but it is disconcerting when you hear stories of G7 union/management coming to TSH to try to underbid TSA on every piece of potential flying that TSA has.
