Now if you are a pilot who has made or is making a lateral move to GJ or TSA then yes, you should have known better.
There's nothing complex about what gojets is, about what they've done to the industry, and about what they stand for. Anyone with a private ticket can find all this out if they just look.

For those of you that don't work for an airline, but want to, stay away from gojets, you're risking too much just to try to get in and fly a shinny jet. Wait until the market turns around, then you can go work for a real airline, where you won't have to be ashame to tell people who you work for.

Now, just to clarify for you guys, I never called them scabs. They're not technically scabs.. (Hence the term pseudo-scab)... They're about as close as you can get without actually crossing a picket line. (Which I hope to hell they won't actually do when the strike finally comes).

hate gojet as much as you want. hate RAH now. hate whoever you please. because you got your "widdle feewings huurt", doesn't change the definition of the word whatsoever. lets just agree that I'm right, and you aren't
