I wonder if doctors at the Mayo Clinic get on webmdcentral.com and tell other doctors "you will never leave the Minor Medical center next to your house with weekends off and 9-5 to perform 14 hour surgeries and 68 hour days!!!! I'd be angry too!!! Work your whole career and be happy at a minor med!!!!!!"

I'm sure one of the reasons that G7 isn't knocking on the door asking for the MRJ flying is because our union negotiated that specific clause. It has nothing to do with the mentality that G7 wouldn't jump all over that flying if it could. And this isn't exactly a parallel of "all regionals try to outbid each other." This is an example of an alter ego group that belongs to the same company doing whatever it takes to get more flying at the expense of their "sister carrier." In my opinion, the ill will goes both ways between pilot groups. TSA pilots may be mad, but G7 pilots don't give a damn about how many guys at TSA are furloughed.

They didn't "grow a pair". They puffed out their chest & Uncle Hulie popped it like a balloon. Their pilot group and tough guy MEC didn't secure the a/c BEFORE they negotiated a new pay rate. Yes. It's their own fault. Not the pilots at G7. But they sure do like to blame every GoJet pilot for their problems.
FACT: The aircraft WERE secured. Trans States Airlines were getting them, the only thing that needed to be negotiated was the pay rate. Trans States Pilots stood firm and demanded fair pay to fly the airplanes.
You know what happened....the Holding Company - Trans States Holdings was formed after the higher ups realized the pilots were united. The Alter Ego Gojet Airlines was spun up as a NON UNION gig to take the airplanes instead. Then eager, selfish, union busting pilots decided to stick it to Trans States Pilots by going to Gojet.
now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

How little you know on this subject

Alter-Ego only happens because the pilot group's contract's scope clause (or lack thereof) allowed it.That is what was voted on by the TSA pilots. It's only illegitimate if it is in violation of the contract. Did it suck? Yes. Illegitimate? No.
i.e. It is ONLY as illegitimate as TSA pilots doing Eagle flying while Eagle pilots were furloughed. After all, it was all legal. What's worse (Jayhub)? A union shop screwing over another union shop? Or a non-union shop screwing a union shop?

In case you hadn't noticed, pax hate all little airplanes, and their definition of "little" is anything smaller than a 747. Considering the "customer" of a turboprop operator is the mainline, it doesn't really matter what the pax wants. If a TP can do the job cheaper, that is probably what the pax is gonna get.
