Does anyone have a link to the freedom a list handy? Those selfish proto-scab duds should never stop being embarrassed and called out.

This video would very closely apply to the gojets situation, just change the paint, change JO to HK and shorten the fuselage.

Well by looking around the industry, the only difference between a normal regional pilot and a Freedom A lister is that the normal pilot is not on a list. I also think that preaching from the high altar of actually having a job as to what is and isn't appropriate for others is a little ironic as well. I think it's pretty safe to say enough are willing to sell their mothers for a job, let alone take a job at a non scab operation(who cares, alter ego or not it's still a crappy job).

I also think it's pretty dumb to pin all our misery on one single group. Freedom and even Gojet is not the reason we have a couple of thousand people on furlough or that airlines are doing so bad. It's managements. The sooner we realize who the enemy is, the better. What does having a list do to help you? Nothing. It's like we're fighting each other, when the eye of management is laughing at us all. I'm not a Freedom A lister, just an observation.

Just from the level of hair on JO's head you can tell its an old video...

Really cheesy though.

Scumbag???? He might be a lot of things, but really. Let's save names like that for people like Michael Jackson. People who really deserve to be called scumbags. Given the current enviroment and how anti business Washington D.C er's are I would take a business leader over any socialist, job cutting, draft dodging, lying politician anyday! Let's keep it real!:p

Meanwhile I would bet the average Mesa pilot makes more every year than most.

Uh I'm not sure I agree with that. The pilot group did not have a gun to their head in 08, like they did during the Freedom/CCair issue. The last TA was all on the pilots. And it looks like Mesa is downsizing anyways despite the promises made to pilots to sign the ta. So I wouldn't call it taking the bull by the horns, and there's nothing to applaud.

That paint scheme was the prettiest out there. Too bad they had to paint all the AW planes that ugly US Airways scheme. The AW 757's looked great!

Amen to that! AW had some pretty good looking airplanes once upon a time...

Just so you know....about 50 Freedom A pilots were from MESA...the rest were furloghed United and US Air......and thats a fact......thanks guys.
