I went to Comair because I wanted to go to the place with the best contract. I was there for 6+ years. I commuted to rsv in JFK and DTW. I never once complained about my situation: I made the choice.

Once Comair started to shrink (due to our industry leading contract and super senior pilot group) many of us started applying at other airlines (myself included). I didn't here anything.

Once it was clear that Comair was going under, I wanted to live in base and have a fairly quick upgrade, and I knew I had to find a job to keep current and to support my family. I chose Gojet. This was the right choice for me and my family until I can go somewhere else.

I'm not going to say that G7 has the best contract in the industry or that it is the place I want to spend the rest of my career: it's not. However, I'm really happy here. I'm treated better than I was at Comair and I'm happy to have prospects to upgrade and move on.

How anyone can attack a furloughed guy for getting another job is surprising to me. If you are a TSA guy, I'm sorry for what G7 did to you. I, and many of my other Comair brothers and sister's who are here have no problem merging the pilot group. I would like to think that we are big enough to know that we would like to limit managements whipsaw ability and to try and right passed wrongs.

Anyway, I hope this explains my actions as well as everyone else's actions who are in my position.
