Are you saying nobody from Gojet has ever got a job at Southwest? The vitrol at the Mesa threads at APC comes close to the Gojet threads. Certainly, there are Southwest pilots out there who hate Mesa. I wonder if Mesa pilots worry about that kind of stuff. I mean, you could draw the same parallel to just one Aloha pilot who gets hired at Southwest and blames Mesa for having to move to Oakland. I think there is a lot of that going around in the industry and telling a Gojet guy he's ruining his career it over the top. Yeah, it might cost and interview or two, but I'd hardly say it will ruin your career any more than working at Mesa will....
I'd venture to say there are far less people with a vendetta for Mesa than there are for GoJet.
I know many of my fellow Mesa pilots have travelled on to SWA, thus have no reason to believe that I would be black balled from that airline simply b/c of my current employer.
More than anything, I was refering directly to AirWillie, and the fact that he was a TSA-turned GoJet pilot. If someone knew his story personally, that person might be more inclined to black ball him (one who switched teams) rather than a run of the mill GoJet guy.
Simplified: Seems AirWillie (a turncoat) would be treated differently than a GoJet guy (who had never worked at TSA) at the hands of a TSA pilot. Follow?
