I agree with everything you said above - 100%
The jumpseat ban, I don't know, I guess in my view that's an action that should be used sparingly and only against people who've crossed a picket line, etc? I mean, if we use your analogy Gojet situation was even worst as that airline's sole reason for being formed was to bypass TSA's union. I guess I simply don't know enough about the Republic/Midwest/Frontier subject yet...
PS. Off the subject - hate the iphone's auto spell-check... Darn thing will change whole words before you know it...
