Go Jets was started to get around American scope just like Republic (the airline, not the holdings company) originally was. When Bedford took too long starting Republic, he bought Shuttle America because he was paying a huge fee to the APA. The fact that Go Jets was started as a new list is irrelevant to the mainline pilots whose scope is being circumnavigated. Regional pilots hate Go Jets because they feel like they are being undercut, but to mainline Republic/Chautauqua/Shuttle America, GO Jets/TSA, Mesa/Freedom are all the same. They are all exposing loopholes in mainline contracts to keep the replacement workers coming in. The replacement workers are replacing mainline, not Tran States' workers.
