The Alter Ego Gojet Airlines was spun up as a NON UNION gig to take the airplanes instead. Then eager, selfish, union busting pilots decided to stick it to Trans States Pilots by going to Gojet.
now put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Alter-Ego only happens because the pilot group's contract's scope clause (or lack thereof) allowed it.That is what was voted on by the TSA pilots. It's only illegitimate if it is in violation of the contract. Did it suck? Yes. Illegitimate? No.
i.e. It is ONLY as illegitimate as TSA pilots doing Eagle flying while Eagle pilots were furloughed. After all, it was all legal. What's worse (Jayhub)? A union shop screwing over another union shop? Or a non-union shop screwing a union shop?
Now put THAT in your pipe and smoke it.
