Default Gojet Pilots

I was talking with someone who said they wouldn't go to gojet because their pilots formed an alter ego airline and crossed the picket line. If this guy was this clueless I wonder about the others. The purpose of these forums is to be better educated of your industry. I know word travels fast and gets distorted but please don't call gojet pilots scabs, for that to happen there had to have been a strike and they would have had to cross a picket line.

Was he clueless or are you naive?

Technically you are correct - however, remember that TSA furloughed TSA pilots and offered them positions at GoJets instead – a perfect way to circumvent union negotiations. In my opinion to accept such a position is almost as despicable as crossing a picket line…

Flamebait thread? Flamebait response?

There is little tolerance for flightinfo style posts here.

Keep this one within TOS or don't click on the send button.

That's not even remotely true, that furlough was for not getting the CAL flying. TSA guys who jumped did so at their free will as it was their right to do so if they wanted, nobody was on strike. Same as quitting a regional for another one. And De727UPS it's not flame bait, what would you do if your fellow pilots were called scabs for no reason?

How about a history lesson then? I've never heard it told this way. I think the scab word is thrown around too much and I wouldn't consider Gojet pilots scabs. That said, I can understand the distain for those who went there in the beginning under the circumstances that are normally understood.

If you were there, then tell us how it was....

AirWillie, thanks for getting this straight. I guess everyone at TSA that just got furlough July 1st can apply to be Frist officers and the 22 downgrades can be street Captain. I'll make sure they get the memo.

Dude, seriously, Dude.................. Time for Pepto before I Sh*t on myself.

GoJet has pilots? I thought they only hired career scum-bags?
