TSA and GJ fly different aircraft and therefore would not be bidding on the same flying...

Says who? Why couldn't they fly the mrj or even the turbo prop? I understand Tsa has the atr certificate. But that doesn't mean you can't fly any kind of turbo prop. Again, i'm not saying it's absolutely true. I just think it is possible.

There is a rumor that their union went to management and offered to fly a "large turboprop" for cheaper than TSA when the ATR rumor was all over the place. Then there was 2 years ago when they were looking at getting -200's.

I know one guy at TSA that started a bunch of rumors for the entertainment value and while it was entertaining they never came true and now people wonder why the company was thinking...

Not everyone has to fly a 747 to prove their manhood or flying skills. If someone is happy with a senior QOL at a regional, so be it.

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!!!!!!"
