actually i do, and so do other people i know that were at trans states when the whole gojet thing happened. we usually try to educate the young first officers, because they really didn't know any better and wish they hadn't taken the gojets job offer. and we usually point out what trans states contract said and how every off the street captain (or trans states fo or captain that went over there, hence "furloughed AA") purposely and willfully helped trans states holdings violate a "legally binding" contract.

actually, there is plenty of mainline "attitude" on this. i jumpseat all the time on united and american, and occasionally on us airways. i have had first officers and captains on all three of those carriers talk about gojets in a manner that shows they know what actually happened and why those gojets pilots should be treated as turncoats. i have been told by captains on all three of those carriers that they refuse to let gojets pilots jumpseat on their planes. i have had first officers and captains on all three of those carriers ask me detailed questions about the trans states contract, the intitial startup of gojets, the "proposal" offered by trans states to the trans states pilots, etc. so there is plenty of mainline interest, attitude, and cohesion on this issue.
the pilots that went to gojets when it first started knew exactly what they were doing. anyone hired there since has found out quickly why it is they are treated as pariahs. i do not personally, nor do i encourage anyone else to, get in anyone's face in an angry manner, or get into shouting matches, or "lose" their carry on bags, etc. i have seen these things done, and by mainline employees (pilots and rampers). i'm not really sure why you personally feel you need to constantly defend gojet pilots. i'm actually now thinking you are not really a gojets flight attendant, which makes it even more confusing why you would be defending them so much.
oh, and i personally know a gojets pilot who was specifically denied a job at a mainline carrier because he works at gojets. he was told that, to his face, by a captain in his interview. the interview ended right then. i do not say that to gloat on the fact, i only say it to show you that you are wrong when you say that there are no consequences to working at gojets.
