We are the ones flying smaller planes for cheaper then mainline, taking their jobs, and we have jobs while mainline pilots are losing their houses on furlough. Why doesnt anyone ever talk about pilots wanting to go to Continental, arent there scabs over there. I mean why doesnt anyone give people crap for working next to a scab. Oh wait casue its a mainline and you want to go there. So we are all guilty of being a scumbag in a sense. For guys applying to Gojet and the guys getting upset about it, why? You expect new guys right now to go back in a long history lesson to see if every airline has some fault years ago?
I fly with scabs, but I'm not a scab. Big difference. I was hired 20 years later (after the strike). I don't work for a scumbag airline (CAL), although that can be debated.
Anyone who works for a scumbag airline (Gulfstream) is a scumbag pilot. Gulfstream was started by a scumbag and is run as a scumbag operation. They take advantage of pilots today; therefore the word "scumbag".
How in the world does 1900 training cost $25,000? You can get any Boeing type rating for under $10,000.
Pilots have a choice: don't cross picket lines and don't pay to do your job. It may take longer, but you can do it.
