There is exactly zero ethical difference between working at GoJet and any other regional airline. Sure, their initial cadre of pilots were questionable because they signed on to circumvent TSA's seniority. However, that is long past.
For you regional pilots condemning GJ, remember what they say about people in glass houses.
So it comes down to two opposing stories.
One says the above - that it is complete BS and "simply do[es] not happen" and others who say they have seen it *personally* (possible even have been involved in some of the stories shared) or have at least heard stories.
It would seem to me (from an outsiders view and one of the reading public in this case) that saying that "these things simply do not happen" is no more accurate than someone else saying that it simply happens *all of the time*.
I'm sure that the truth probably lies somehwere between.
