I dunno, I think this has been remarkably civil for a gojets thread...

Many of the pilots at Gojets have already been at the Majors and because of what management is trying to do to this profession, have now lost their jobs. They have TWA/AA, UAL, MEH, ATA, USAir, among many others there. This is nothing new, as someone stated, you can't tell a pilot not to take a job and feed his family and kids. If you live at home with your parents, it's a little different. We are not talking about being a scab, that is a different conversation. If you are going to compare pay at Gojets, what about Virgin America, Allegiant, USA 3000, Mesa. Aren't they all destroying this industry. What about Republic flying all of Midwest's routes in their colors and continuing to furlough Midwest pilots. It's called Corporate GREED and outsourcing is the new way to get around every one's contract, whether aviation or a big corporation. How do you stop a CEO from taking a $30 million a year salary and than come to you after 20 years and say your fired because you cost to much, so we are going to hire a kid for a 1/4 of what you made. Alpa and Teamsters are letting this happen and until our unions stop this together, it will continue. By someone not taking a job at Gojets or Virgin isn't going to change a damn thing. Is anybody from RAH turning down the flying because it was MEH's and they get paid half of what MEH did. Don't think so!

Some people just don't get this. It's always easier to blame the other crew since going after management is a losing proposition. Too bad we don't see such fervor arguing that some CEOs make too much money and that maybe some of that money should be spread around a little more. So what if the other pilot makes a couple bucks less. What about the CEO make millions more?

Its the difference between being the chess player or being the pawn.

A CEO making millions can afford to fly his own airplane whenever he wants. Sounds like some of us need to go find a company to run.
