My point being is we all have a job to do and guess what you can do you job and move on with your life or you can work yourself up to a Cardiac for things you have no control over. if GoJets was a real SCAB airline as some say, then why didnt ALPA National Step in and make a big Stink about it.. how come you dont see anything in the ALPA magazine about this.
Oh yea your Brothers ie fellow pilots from ATA, Champion, Aloha, Maxjet, Eos bigsky, skyway and soon to be express jet and mesa appreciat your thought process, however it dont put food on the table and offer life insurance for their families that my friend is the Reality.. unfortunately our profession is a Dog Eat Dog profession.. too many time I hear or read.. My Regional is better than your regional BS.. bottom line is people will do what ever to feed their families , put shelter over their heads and GAS in their cars.. that my friend is REALITY
No my friend the reality is I don't make silly assumptions about life flying in the military because I am not a military pilot. Don't make assumptions about what you THINK might be the case about GoJet. Sorry but all the airlines you mentioned were not created as an alter-ego. Freedom A was and those pilots that jumped over there and stabbed their fellow Mesa pilots in the back STILL have the stigma of being scum. Almost all of them are still out of 121 flying because of it.
Now when it comes to "putting food on the table" as you say its never ok to do what GoJet pilots did. Sorry if you need to put food on the table then do something else. Selling drugs or being paid to off people puts food on the table but it certainly doesn't make it right or acceptable as a means to do that. And no I'm not comparing GoJet to that, just using it as an illustration. Pilots are smart people and if you can't figure out some other way of making ends meet other than alter-ego flying then you don't deserve to be in this industry. THAT my friend is the dog eat dog reality of the airline industry. Oh, and thank you for your service in the military. High regards.
