Yes it is.
The airline was created specifically to bust a pilot union... and in many parts of our industry that is not looked upon well. In other areas it won't stop a career. The question is this... with other airlines hiring, why would you intentionally o to work for a union busting company knowing full well in advance that it WILL close some future doors for you.
The airline was not created to bust a union, the seniority list was. Even then TSA pilots created that separate list, at least allowed it to happen when they knew their contract was not worth the paper it was printed on. This is nothing like Freedom, because freedom was illegal. The pilots at Gojet are not replacing TSA because TSA pilots never had the job to begin with. Again ALPA is sending their furloughed to this alter ego, how can that be?
We are all we have, and each of us - from B1900 drivers to B777 systems managers - need to look out for eachother since nobody else will.
I'm all for that. However, short of being a scab, if you think that a pilot won't take his or her interests before anyone else when it comes to his livelihood then you are living in a different planet.
If it comes down to putting food on your table any job with benefits will do nobody will fault you for taking whatever you can get. Just keep in mind that for what places like GoJet pay you could make the same money at Home Depot and be home everyday.
What are you talking about? How can you get a job at a major with customer service experience at Home Deopt?
However, with other places hiring again, and the newspapers full of other minimum wage jobs - and the occasional good job - there is NO reason at all to go to a place like GoJets.
Easy for you to say when you have not walked in the others shoes. It's so much easier to preach.
Again, as unfortunate as the separate list was, due to what happened back then, that has nothing to do with the current and future pilots. Gojet was created due to s serious blunder and therefore will continue to be there for a long time.Originally Posted by Mason32
