HISTORY The airline was established in late 2004 by the current owners of Trans States Airlines . GoJet was supposed to start on 1 August 2005 , but began services on 4 October 2005 instead. The initial fleet consists of three 66-seat Bombardier CRJ-700 regional jets. Current plans will expand the fleet to five aircraft within the first six months with an additional seven aircraft joining the fleet by January 2006. CONTROVERSY The airline has come under heavy fire from Trans States Pilots Unionized by the Air Line Pilots Association . GoJet is accused of being an " Alter-ego " airline created to circumvent union contracts, work rules, pay and scope clauses. Some Trans States pilots have gone so far as to set up a Web Site , "GoJetPilots.com" to Blacklist employees of the new airline who try to fly in the jumpseat on flights operated by union pilots. The airline is in the process of unionizing with the Teamsters . FLEET The GoJet Airlines fleet consists of 13 Bombardier CRJ-700 aircraft (at November 2005). The average fleet age of GoJet Airlines is 0.5 years old in march 2006. The airline has taken options on 40 more CRJ-700s. EXTERNAL LINKS |
