All this started by a person interested in gojets who's never been in the airline business, and who didn't hear what he wanted to, so he is now acting like he understands and knows everything. As I said earlier, to the original poster, get a couple of years in the industry, and then come back and share your "wisdom". You didn't hear what you wanted and refuse to hear what others had to say about what gojets is doing to TSA and the industry.
What the pilots do, is not induced by management. Everyone knows that Hulas is one of the biggest problems in the industry.
If this is the case then focus your efforts on him....

Im wondering here (and this is not to provoke), if there will be other ALPA pilots on the majors hiring boards, dont you think it is possible that there will be a few GJ people on them too, or mabye just a family member of someone who was mistreated as one. And how are you going to react when they deny someone a job becasue they worked for TSA.
Does no one see that this whipsaw started by management (as you put it by creating an alter-ego), is going to last for the next 40years. Pilot against pilot. WHO WINS? Now who wants to work in that kind of industry for 40 years. Do not forget:
--For every TSA that hates a GJ, and denys a JS, there is a GJ that now hates all TSA, even if its an alpa major pilot that denied him who do you think he will blame?, You didnt do it but he blames you, and thats kinda how he feels, he wasnt there during the mess, but he got punished...see how this spirals down hill
---someday he will move on, so will you, so you have a TSA and GJ pilot at a different airline still trying to get even with any pilot from the oppisite background, for percieved wrongs, some real, some not...again the
WHIPSAW continues.
Is this the precedent we all want to live with forever. Im not saying that we have to like the way GJ was founded but it is not going away, so again why not try to get the GJ and TSA pilots together ...but I am sure I am talking to a brick wall here..It seems some ,(not all), but some TSA are so binded by rage, they are just pawns in a game too blinded to see they are the ones being manipulated by management, youve been in the trap so long you dont even realize your caught.
Again I say here would anyone be this voracious if there were lots of jobs out there, people weren't out on the streets, people werent stressed because of finances and the state of the industry, all of this is just food for thought, and solely the opinion of the author...
