All the viseral lasting hate towards scabs cant be healthy guys.
They are union. I see a ton of them wearing lanyards that say "teamster unity". I find that pretty funny. If they were unified they would not have stabbed TSA pilots in the back, and then accepted a below industry standard contract just to fly a 70 seat jet. I hope they enjoy the growth and upgrade that those 15 jets bring them. They haven't gotten any more and I doubt they'll get much considering we're taking routes from them.
If you're dumb enough to go work for somebody without doing your homework on who you are working for then yeah, you're going to get denied a jumpseat. It's not like they're the only one hiring and how are you doing yourself any favors by not finishing school? Do you want to fly for a regional the rest of your life?
You're not doing yourself, or your fellow pilots any good by working for GJ, Skybus, or anybody else that's lowering the pay and bennefit bar.
