Pointing fingers at pilots, at each other, at the industry only serves to direct attention from the real problem, greedy managers that put our industry in this situation in the first place. That is what it all boils down to, Greed.

When I started at TSA, things weren't really that bad. There was growth, people were positive, etc. This whole GoJet issue has brought a dark shadow into the lives of everyone involved with TSA, and it's been 4 years. I wouldn't wish the emotional heartache and pain that this has caused all the families at TSA on anyone, not even those pilots at GoJet. The underlying theme at TSA(H) is Greed. Those at GoJet might not realize it now, but come time for their next round of negotiations, this will become apparent pretty quick. There is a long history to support the difficult managment-labor relationship at TSA....and this whole fiasco only serves to support that. The more time we spend beating each other up, the more TSA(H) sits back, earns money, and laughs at just how successfully they've pinned the pilots against each other. If we are really interested in success in having a mutually beneficial experience at TSA(H), we're going to have to work together. Without that, the division will be the end of this company, which may be for the best.

We'll thanks for that realistic write up, here is the difference between an actual TSA pilot that has an interest in solving the issue vs someone in the sidelines that has no interest other than to flame away.
