TSA is furloughing, or at least they were furloughing. They have cancelled the August group. They furloughed for a couple of reasons.

1. Pilots are being displaced from the J41. None of the J41's were United flying.

2. TSA lost San Antonio flying because it was a pay per passenger contract with United as opposed to pay per departure. Because of the loss of routes, they have had to park some airplanes. The San Antonio flying for TSA was a completely different route structure than GoJet's San Antonio flying.

If United wants 70-seaters on their routes instead of 50-seaters, then that is what they are going to get, with or without Trans States Holdings. Yes, in the future, there may be routes taken from TSA and given to GoJet. Unfortunately, TSA pilots should have forseen this and signed on with GoJet. I'm not saying it was a good deal, but I think it would have been better than the alternative.
