then i'd suggest asking questions instead of making statements that aren't true (see below)

GoJet hired their own pilots and began operation. ALPA (Who has not negotiated a new contract for TSA in years) offered to represent GoJet and GoJet rejected that offer by selecting Teamsters. No where in this whole situation was there ever a picket line or a strike. I'm not trying to start a flame war, but I have never seen the non-biased, non-emotional truth written about this.
well, you're certainly not writing truth, non-biased or otherwise.
it is clear to me, and to anyone else who was at tsa when the whole gojets thing went down, that you do not know what you are talking about. you were obviously not there when it happened. you have had some people tell you this or that or the other, and you have put together what you think is a nice little narrative about the order of things and the intentions and responses of the various groups involved. but you are wrong.
i've explained the true reality on this board before. if you want to search my posts, you'll find it somewhere. i don't feel like typing it all out again. i lived through it. it's not "biased" in the sense that i don't know exactly what both sides did, because i do. reality is reality.
short version: tsa holdings management purposefully and blatantly violated our contract in the way they started/staffed gojets with pilots. yes, they had to start the company to fly something bigger. our so-called "legally binding" contract laid out exactly what tsa holdings was supposed to do and how they were supposed to do it. they ignored those parts of our contract and did what they wanted to do instead, and got away with it.
every single pilot that went to gojets was therefore a party to that. they, especially the ones that went there from tsa airlines itself, knew what they were doing and who they were doing it to. that is why they, the gojets pilots, are rightly treated as pariahs.
again, do a little research before you go telling us all how it went down. because you don't know what you're talking about.
