I am concerned about the short sightedness of TSA pilots. Why couldn't they just fly the 70 seater and accept the lower pay, temporarily. Once everything settled down, they would be able to fight for industry standard wages and get them. Go Jets will be profitable. If they are profitable, this means that their pilots will have leverage. If Go Jets pilots have leverage, they will be able to negotiate higher pay in the future. TSA pilots could be in the same position if they weren't so sensitive. But instead they won't have access to the bigger equipment.

I understand how the creation of Go Jets could seem deceitful to TSA pilots. However, management wants to make money and so do the pilots. Each will take as much as they can from the other. Checks and balances. The side that is educated and organized will come out on top. The side that lets their emotions get in the way of intelligent action (intelligent action does not mean stepping on transmissions in busy appoach control sectors) will come out on the bottom. A successful company will have both sides in the middle. Carpe future.
