They want you to succeed and get you online. Don't listen to the noise.
Noise? There have been so many federal law suits against TSH, Compass, Trans States, and Gojet that I cannot see how you can call it just "noise". Yes, you can come to GoJet with your "positive and cooperative attitude" as almost all do and maybe make it through training unblemished. You might even spend a few years here without coming under attack yourself. But you are not going to come here and not see the willingness of the company to violate federal laws and screw employees over. The company wants you to see it so they can get you to march to their drum. They don't want you to take FMLA leave and they let you know that. They don't want you to enforce the contract and they let you know that. Military leave better be on your days off and on days they don't try to junior man you.
The best example I saw what when a check FA came out publicly for a FA Union. The company immediately suspended her, then they looked on her facebook page and found her sitting in the FO seat with the captain's hat posing for a picture. They claimed she had been flying the airplane and used that to fire her. Assuming that her friends would also be in favor of a union, they fired one or two of them too. If they really thought she was flying the plane why didn't they fire the captain too?
They play hard ball and they let you know it. They are willing to pay the price too, but they still come out ahead. Violating the law can be very profitable.
