No picket lines crossed, no struck work flown. I guess that's why a few Go Jet guys are getting hired at majors.
How would TSA pilots feel if it were announced Eagle was going to do most of the flying in STL and TSA was going to park airplanes and possibly furlough several hundred. I do realize TSA has said there will be some furloughs and downgrades, but not the same magnitude.
Why don't you go work for GoJets if your so confident in that explanation? GoJet was formed because TSA pilots refused to fly CRJ7's for 50 seat rates. You are completely misinformed if you think otherwise. And no, I wouldn't like is too much if eagle came into STL and started flying the routes, but I'd understand that the pilots had nothing to do with it and it was all management. Also, a dirty look is one thing, i don't give a damn about that, but beyond that I would expect you to act professionally. i'm not asking you guys to take us to dinner, i know the greeting wont be warm by any means, but dont be tools.

here we go now with the "my regional is better than yours" BS!
get over yourselves.
