gojets to my knowledge has the teamsters but was developed in a scab like way even though they don't technically fit the scab definition.
I agree getting that out would help some. it could be real easy to make a website stating which airlines could be shady like freedom and gojets and which ones are good. the problem is that alpa for example wouldn't have the guts to do it. an overhaul would be needed.
This is just a question because Im not really sure about this... didnt TSA have pilots on furlough when they created GoJets? If they did and hired off the street for GoJets, then it was and still is somewhat of a scab airline. Whether or not they have a union now doesnt change the fact that they MAY have hired people while TSA had pilots on the street.
