Their pay and work rules are pretty much the bottom of the barrel. Why would you go there over anywhere else????
Because it's every man for HIMSELF. We're all scrambling over each other to claw our way to the top of seniority lists no matter who we hurt or what values we reject in the process. G? bypassed a lot of senior TSA pilots so that younger ones who just couldn't wait could step on them on their way to the top. A lot of guys don't get it, they think it's one airline undercutting another...not true, it was an IN HOUSE gutting. I know this is a generalization, but it was junior pilots finding a way to step over the guys who stuck it out and it also allowed the 'new' company to pay lower wages for another contract period. It's good that it gave furloughed United pilots a place to go, but once they leave do you think they really care about who they left behind? They blame the regionals for their furloughs...
