The flying should have been flown by Trans States Airline pilots, but the holding company refused to negotiate a fair contract with its workers and started GoJets as an alter ego carrier to bypass the rights of the workers at Trans States Airlines. GoJet was supposed to start on August 4, 2005, but began scheduled passenger services on October 4, 2005 instead. The airline received its initial Air Carrier Operating Certificate in September of 2005. The initial fleet consists of fifteen 66-seat Bombardier CRJ-700 regional jets."

Right out of Wikipedia.

OK I have a couple question here....
Were those pilots taken from TSA (pilot group) to start flying the NEW AIRLINE?
Why didn't TSA pilot went on strike to opposed the magnament?
I think the scabs are the people from magnament...right?
The way I see it (maybe i'm wrong) is,the magnament put a add looking for pilots and people looking for job started applying maybe without knowing the situation.
Correct me if Im wrong.
go jet payscale is not as bad as some other companies like MESA,PIEDMONT,MESABA etc.
thank you
