Gojet certificate had nothing to do with TSA but was necessary due to the American scope clause at the time (same reason 170s couldn't go to Chautauqua). TSA management and ALPA could not come to agreement on pay rates for 70 seaters so Hulas decided to go a different route which created the TSA/Gojet trainwreck. Many of the original hires at GJ were TSA guys that jumped over, which helped create the acrimony between the groups and the crap storm that resulted. When TSA was furloughing, the only way furloughs could go to GJ was as a new hire. Now there is a new contract in place at TSA with provisions for going to Gojet, TSA getting new planes and people are upgrading and things seem to be better, but you never know.
