Wow. I was hired at Tranny States just after the GoJet thing went down, and Rick Leach told us at that time that GoJet was created because of the American scope clause that disallowed involvement with a company that operated anything with more than 50 seats. That was directly from the rat's mouth. Now American is totally out of the picture. If we aren't careful this is going to turn into the new version of the whipsaw. The regional carriers will operate new certificates and force the senior pilots to start over at the bottom and make their own employees reapply and re-interview for their jobs. This is crap, but not wholly without precedent TSA debacles.
I hope that there is a good lawyer out there who can take this case on and bring Leach and his pandering clowns to their knees. The FAA and companies require so much of their pilot groups. We give up lifestyle, pay, and job security while they give us less and less in return. This needs to stop here and now.
