I can appreciate everyone's comments but however...I want to empathize that

what TSA did was complete crap!!!!!!!!!!! However, I agree, there are unlimited things outside of aviation and I do hope someone can make more if going that direction......the paying the bills statement doesn't apply to everyone, but some do.....most responses were from an individual position.....

one commented going to work for "target"....I must ask you will that support your bills...if you were to get into a management position or supervisor position sure.....I hope you never come across that decision or anyone for that matter!!!! If you do, what would you do??? I hope what ever you do you make enough to support expenses or more.

In 10 years is anyone gonna care or are you as a "pilot group" gonna worry about retirement fundings, you're house, wife's needs, and your children's graduation......at that point what's more important??? Maybe some of you are at the point and can handle all of that and keep a piece of mind...if thats the case ur mind is made up and I hope for the best to your future.

I won't address the scab statement again....if a strike where to happen at TSA and Go Jet pilots crossed I will recant my statement...but I would think they would know better....but this can happen to any airline!!!!

Would I do it.....NO!!! nothing is solved without union ship...no I'm not a big supporter of ALPA...I would be if their interests were stronger for the "pilot group" instead of their own personal gain...my opinion....I hope the USAIR vote gets ALPA's attention and quit the talking and start doing some action...we as a pilot group I feel have done their job its time for them to do their's!!!!!!

My point is I hope if some better regional were to come along go for that job.
However...Go Jets isn't going away and we need accept it just like anything has happened all we can do is start focusing on bigger issues and get our quality of life and pay back to where it should be!!!!

Management, loves this fighting, cause nothing gets solved and they pull our strings at their will....we need to....stop the fighting....and everyone from CAL, DAL, MESA, XJT, and even Go Jets stand together and express our frustration at management and applicable unions...we've been patient but we've run out..and now we want to be payed what we are worth...talk is cheap I know....but if everyone keeps fighting this will always seem like a lost battle.....now what's more important???? The short sighted version...hate Go Jets...or the long version...pay, qol, retirement, and supporting my family....no pun intended....but really what's more important???

Safe flying to all,
