Maybe it's because people like you are so willing to agree with those making good money off of them (management and owners) that these jobs are esentially worthless stepping stone positions not worthy of decent treatment and compensation.[/quote]

I don't think that you understand my point. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!
If you think for one second that Hulas, Ornstein or any other CEO is going to not do something that benefits him and stays within the rules just because it may hurt your lively hood then you are not just naive but stupid! I felt sorry for the TSA folks when GoJets started. I was working out of the same crew room as them in IAD at the time. The solution at the time was simple. If what I was told by the TSA pilots is correct all that they had to do was have a large number of TSA pilots move over to GoJets and when they had sufficient numbers take control of the union. They could not get their MEC to condone such a plan because of ego's. The TSA MEC was "going to show that scumbag Hulas that he can't F with us" Well guess what, you lost! Now you want to come on here and get everybody to feel sorry for you because you are losing you job? You want people to persecute pilots who fly for GoJets? Why? Because of your inept union management? Another thing, quit blaming ALPA National for your problems. TSA problems are in house and due to poor Union behavior from both a fragmented membership and ego maniac union reps. you have given your jobs away just like you say mainline has given their routes away. One last thing. If you are in this business for the money then you are truly a fool. I personally love to fly which is why I persevere after 2 furloughs in the past year.
