I have to disagree, based on my own experience. I've seen a Gojet guy get denied, and a couple others have posted seeing the same. I also had a gate agent recently go on a full-on rant about Gojet's performance (in particular, cancelations.) That day, we picked up a completely full turn that they canceled. She was saying that it was typical and she hoped DL would cancel their contract due to poor performance. I stood there wide-eyed in disbelief that she would talk like that in front of passengers. Also was glad that I wasn't a Gojet guy looking for a ride...
I have no ill will toward the pilots as I understand they have nothing to do with boardroom decisions or whether or not to cancel. But those that choose to go there should understand the proverbial snake pit that awaits.
