You can't expect someone to quit, give up a senior CA or FO position and go somewhere else to "raise the bar" (not to mention go through training, probation, etc all over again). TSA pilots were trying to raise the bar when G/J came along.

At may last carrier we too voted down a crappy offer for additional flying that would have actually meant a pay cut to fly larger equipment. We did this full well knowing that our parent airline could give the flying to someone else. Eventually no one got the airframes that were offered. TSA pilots did the right thing, don't try to rationalize your decision to work at G/J by judging them.
