As for GoJet- I will concede that Leach is taking some advantage... yup

What is happening at GoJet is no different than anywhere else that feeds for American. Chautauqua created Republic... agreed

Your real concern in applying to GoJet should be what would happen should United be belly up next month. No, your primary concern should be how will this affect my career, and why would I work for a company that (as you have stated) is already taking advantage of its employees.

This is real-life gambling.
You are so out of touch. You are the one-percent that hurts the rest of us.
First of all, go to dictionary.com real quick and type in "scab." The first definition that applies here is "A person regarded as contemptible."
The reason you shouldn't go fly for Go Jet is not b/c it's "ILLEGAL." but rather b/c it's contemptible. You are stepping on the heads of your fellow pilots to climb another rung. I have the list of Go Jet pilots and they will *never* sit in my jumpseat.
Flying for Go Jet right now is a decision that will follow you for the rest of your career; it will be embarrassing for you for the rest of your life, but a better reason to refuse the flying is because it's the wrong thing to do. It's wrong for your career, it's bad for the industry, and it's just plain mean.
Also, take it from someone who works at TSA, you *need* union protection at this company. Go Jet is
already flying 6 days out of domicile, and this is the honeymoon period.
Do yourselves a favor and wait a couple months for this to sort itself out. The job will be there for you to take with a sense of honor and pride.
