For the record, I don't think Trans States is the sh!t, but it's hard to listen to people bash the place when they have no clue what the hell they're talking about. When you live in base, upgrade in 2 years, and have a pretty good contract, it's not bad for a regional. The relationship between our DO and the pilot group has been great. Our Union guys will go to bat for you all day. If you show up and do your job like a professional, life isn't bad at all. Like every other place, it does have some drawbacks...but that's life. 90% of the problems are caused by 10% of the people...that's the truth.

Once again I am not TSA or G7. I don't really have a dog in the fight personal. I am just giving you a perspective from an outsider looking in. Some of you hard line TSA guys are so two faced. You bash other companies all over the place, including G7, as well as multiple others. I see the same TSA names like Mav, teamramrod, coney and his crew blasting vomit in all the threads and it just makes me think, do you guys realize who you work for or what you are currently doing to other pilot groups as you take flying from others? No regional is perfect, but you guys need to realize that TSA has taken flying from multiple groups also for years now. Remember "No Alter Eagle Jet"? Please just do me a favor and make honest assessment when you go bashing everybody when TSA has plenty of problems in its own house.

Yes, every regional sucks...haven't we beat that horse to death on every thread? It's a fukking job you dipsh!t. You fukking clowns need some perspective in your life. Should we just shame ourselves until United calls? We're one terrorist attack away from being back on the street...or stock market crash. Stop telling me how ****ty life should be because we work for a regional. We get it. **** already

People like you and your other TSA cheerleaders make me laugh. You come on this board and prop up TSA like its a great place to be. You bash other carriers for "taking your flying" while you yourself are taking flying from Envoy and XJT. You state above that if you had this other flying your schedule would be so much better. So now that you are getting all this flying from others wont your schedule now get better at the loss of pilots at XJT and Envoy. Oh but you are making the gains so you don't want to talk about this. Are you not going to get a huge seniority boost as you add aircraft and pilots to staff all this other flying? Don't forget that the reason you got all this flying is because you are cheaper. Your contract is garbage compared to these other two carriers. So you and Mav and his clan can continue to come on this board and bash others and cheerleader for TSA, but we all know the truth about that place and the flying you are taking from others!!!!!! Why don't you make an honest assessment of the place you work at and what you are doing to the industry by taking that POS contract after 7.5 years of negotiations. Why don't you look at what you are doing by taking all those aircraft from other carriers!!

Right which is why if they aren't scabs. They're doggone close. Without those traitors jumping initially, Gojet would have fallen apart.

Every regional sucks, but Gojet was created for the specific purpose of violating a CBA as an alter ego at the same company.

Well actually no it wasn't. Gojet itself was fine, they had to create it in order for Hulas to fly the crj7 because they had to be on another certificate. The issue was the separate list. Basically like RAH and its certificates or Mesa and Freedom. But those pilot groups agreed to concessions basically to keep everyone together. Tsa pilots obviously said no and there was the debacle that ensued.

Yes I was oversimplifying things for the low information crowd. At the time AA had a restriction on 50 seat aircraft and had to create the new certificate and the company decided to use it to get around the TSA CBA requiring decent pay rates on the 700 after TSA pilots refused to fly them at garbage rates. Now that the 50 seat limitation is gone, that flying needs to be put back on the TSA contract where it belongs, not at an alter ego carrier.
