The managements of all the other regional airlines use industry average pay rates to decide what they pay their pilots. Companies like GoJets bring that average down, and therefore indirectly bring the pay of every other airline down. The last thing we need is for our pay to go down even more. We're already severely underpaid.

So, I'm with you that all pilots need to stick together. However, the rest of the industry getting behind the "poor" GoJets pilots is not what I have in mind. I'm thinking more along the lines of the fact that all pilots need to refuse to work for a company that blatently dodged the agreement it made with its pilots by going behind their back to recruit SJS inflicted low-time pilots to do their jobs.

So yes, let's all stick together for the greater good.
