Yea talk about undercutting.... standard 66 seat pay and industry contract. It could be better but but no one is complaining right now. That's the best a 2 year old airline could do. Better than some 25 year old ALPA carriers wouldn't you say?

We both know that I didn't take your job since it was never your job in the first place, were you displaced out of a gojet RJ because of me? And no one is going to ask you for permission to go to gojet since it's not scab and it's nothing but a past seniority list feud that not even alpa cares about, read 1 to 45 post of this tread... The only way I can take your job is if TSA strikes and I replace you.

I love how convenient it is to blame the furlough of TSA on Gojet. You got furloughed because of an incompetent management that borrowed almost half a fleet that could be taken away with no conditions by AMR. Yes you could have had gojet flying to go into. BUT YOU DONT! That is not our fault. Job security over anything else.

The irony is that the single list was turned down because of lack of job security. More flying = lack of job security??? It wasn't about what was fair, it was about taking it all or nothing in 2005 because of the hatred towards management. In retrospect, in 2005 the importance of having 50+ seaters was probably not really cared about much. But there is no other pilot group that has turned down growth, especially one that could mean job security over eventual demise only because of some potential j31 displacements which were on their way out anyways?!?!. You decide in 2010 if it was worth it, no use in flaming on.
