My comment about target is pretty easy.
Gojet first year pay is $23 an hour according to this site. Average 80 hours per month and you have a salary of $22,080.
Make $9 an hour at Target (starting pay), you're going to make about $19k. By the time you're promoted to some sort of assistant manager roll, which happens pretty quick if you're a hard worker and you'll quickly be making more than you would at GoJet and you didn't step on the backs of everybody.
People still remember the UAL and CAL strikes from years ago. In 10 years the majors will be made up almost entirely of guys that were at the regionals when they did what they did. Will people remember? You bet. I'll be leading the charge to remind people.
You beat the drum about moving on and improving the quality of life is a bigger issue. What you're not understanding is that GoJet is at the CORE of this very quality of life issue you speak of. Every clown that goes there and accepts a below average contract, signed much more recently than the majority of the regionals out there (many of which are on concessionary contracts signed right after 9/11 or a Ch. 11 filing) are destroying our ability to improve our lives.
You want unity? You want better quality of life? Start by educating the self-serving bastards that are going to places like GoJet looking for the fast/easy route. Mesa is losing flying because they can't staff jets. If enough people like Solidierboy learn about GoJet and avoid scumbag operators like this who compensate their employees below industry standard and operate on the cheap we'll start seeing improvements.
