I could have also upgraded one year after joining and stayed a captain for 5 years of my career rather than being downgraded.

At the end of the day, nobody gives a rat's a$$ who you undercut/undermine/lower the bar to. ALPA has proven that point by telling TSA pilots that they would fight to get the CRJ-700's back on TSA property, then turn around and tell United furloughs to go to GoJet.

I went to TSA to try to not belittle and undermine ALPA pilots and over 5 years I lost QOL, 3000 hours of PIC in a CRJ-700 instead of an EMB145 (I couldn't get an interview with Emirates because the 145 wasn't big enough of a jet for their minimums but the 700 was) and somewhere in the ball park of $120,000+ pay (with the conservative assumption of making $40/hr more as a Captain at GoJet instead of an FO at TSA).


But hey, I get to tell a bunch of neckbeards on internet forums that I wasn't a part of GoJet. That has to count for something, right? Especially when my current airline amongst many other Legacy/LCC/ULCC airlines have hired GoJet pilots, and you look like an idiot for holding a gripe with RJ drama.
