Because TSA owner Hulas Kanodia told TSA ALPA he wants 70 seaters for X rate, and TSA ALPA told him to go pound sand, and he said, "Ok, I will!" and formed GoJets.

Yup, everytime you look at your W-2 form and realize that the guy working at Office Depot makes more money than you do and is home every night with his family...get over it. Some pilots tried to take a stand to keep wages liveable and to try and stop the 'race to the bottom' in an effort to improve pilot QOL, so get over it. Quit *****ing everybody!!! Get over it!!!

Simple supply & demand in a free market economy. Some people still instruct to be home every night. Some people like traveling and being away from home from time to time. Different strokes.....

The major two (publicly acceptable) reasons were : WMD's and to liberate the people from a dictatorship.
I bet you think Abraham Lincoln wanted to end slavery just because he was such a nice guy with a kind heart too...
But back to the wonderful world of aviation...You guys need to get over go jets, pay would still be crappy if they were alpa. Where is the guarantee that if go jets had not been created, that i would be driving a bimmer and own a 5 bedroom estate in upstate NY? Scapegoats will always be needed to justify why people are unhappy, and unfortunately an airline with a safety record that has been better than most others is slammed because they didn't wanna play with alpa.
Remember that Alpa article a few months back about how Eagle MEC's were securing their jobs and QOL for the future, and then a month later AMR declares bankruptcy? Yea. Alpa is no better than Gojets-its a pilot club with lawyer friends. Doctors and lawyers have an ALPA too, they are called country clubs.

Wait till they do something like this with the executive ticket, and you get furloughed because your job and airplane went to some street entry captain and low time toolbag.
It will be 70 years and you will still be ****ed, and complaining how this industry is not fair and no one takes a stand.

If you think that the United States, particularly the US AIRLINE industry, is FREE MARKET ECONOMICS. Oh man you need to go back to college and take some basic civic classes.

Mesa and Freedom did it. But they were alpa.
Compass did it worse to NWA guys, NWA HR were at the interviews! New hires flew 727 sims!.But they were alpa.
Go jets did it to TSA and they weren't alpa.
I wonder who the genius was that decided we should be paid according to how many seats we have in a plane...instead of how big the airplane actually was....it seems as if that was ALPA too, but its all good.
Lets all hate go jets because they did it first, starting the trend.
