Just because TSA pilots don't want to fly for 1-2 dollars more that does not mean that companies will shut down. PILOTS DO NOT OWN COMPANIES. Again why TSA did not strike. We are setting standards such as 22$ versus 24$ are you kidding me ? those 2 dollars will bring the bar higher ? THATS WHY OUR SALARIES DROPED. Not because of GJ or TSA because companies offered that kind of money and ALPA SAID go ahead guys take it. NOBODY strike.Nobody did anything about it.So quot crying about who took my flying your flying etc etc and do your jobs.Stickers mean absolutely nothing.In my eyes if I see a sticker like that the only think that crosses my mind is UNPROFFESSIONAL.
I don't understand why a few people bend over backwards to defend Go Jet. It seems to reflect more of your anger at Trans States (what about the other American Connection carriers Chautauqua, and Regions for that matter?). It's exactly the same eh? AA did not create Trans States and Chautauqua they were already there. They were flying those routes long before AA bought TWA. If you don't like contract carriers and you're entitled to your opinion. But that has nothing to do with creating a company within a company. I'm sorry you had a long upgrade at Eagle. I'm sorry the TWA purchase wasn't a windfall for you. Isn't it time you let it go instead of twisting it around to defend a scumbag like Hulas while he screws the TSA pilots? Or is it all just about settling old scores? The Eagle thing had more to do with egos and perception, a bunch of kids squabbling in the sandbox over who was there first. The key difference is Trans States and Chautauqua were not created out of thin air to serve AA in St. Louis, Go Jet was created from nothing by the same owner. How can you support that?
