If they thought they could change the ways of management they are either delusional, dumb or a liar. Then to turn around and lambast GoJet for being bottom feeders is ridiculous, I mean- REALLY?
The truth is, GoJet was going to be created with or without TSA's consent. It had to, it was the only way around the scope clause with American. The only thing you voted on was a single seniority list.... and you voted it down.
1. No one has ever "lambasted" GoJets for being a bottom feeder. They were "lambasted" (who uses that word anymore?) for being an Alterego. TSA may have a lousy contract(were workin hard on that) but we are NOT AN ALTEREGO AIRLINE. There is no hypocrisy.
2. You are speaking out of both sides of your mouth.
a) you call TSA hypocrites for accepting a "filth" contract and saying were thinking we could change the ways of mgmt.
b) you criticize TSA for voting down the single seniority list. so should we have accepted the 70 seat flying with an even filthier contract?
some say TSA should have just taken the 70 seat flying, had a single seniority list and hoped to bargain for a better contract later. now you come along and you call TSA bottom feeders and say were the scum of the regional world for accepting our below average contract but then you turn right around and criticize us for NOT accepting the GoJets flying? Which one is it? You think we like having a horrible contract? You think we arent fighting tooth and nail against horrendous management and an apathetic NMB? You think it isnt a constant uphill struggle to improve our contract just a little bit? We don't want to be bottom feeders but the deck is stacked against us. You have got me very very confused.
