The sole reason for BlowJet's existence is/was to screw over another pilot group by circumventing their union and creating an alter ego airline with sub standard pay rates, and work rules. That is the ONLY reason why GoJet airlines exists, period.

and YES even though you may like to think it's ancient history, YOU, by choosing to work there, are actively and explicitly complicit in condoning the actions taken to screw over TSA pilots and the rest of the industry. Furthermore, anybody willing to accept a job at BlowJet is an active participant in lowering the acceptable standards of pay, working conditions, and quality of life FOR ALL US airline pilots.

you can say all you want that all regional suck, and that regionals are not meant to be a long term career choice. Yes, you are right, fine, but that completely misses the point. That doesn't mean it's OK for you and your airline to lower the bar, just because you want to fly a shiny CRJ 700 and chase a quick upgrade.
