"I would call GJ pilots SCUBS only if TSA pilots went on strike.Did they, hmmmm no.Why ?"
Ummm that could be because pilots cant just "go on strike" like hollywood screenwriters or NFL players. The process usually takes at least 3 years, by that time you already have an alter-ego carrier that scummy management uses as a way around a contract.

When you guys talk about GoJet pilots hiding their ID's? You don't mean that they literally conceal the face of the cards do you?

yes, card will be flipped backwards....in ORD i try my best to keep my ID facing outward simply so someone not in the know doesn't mistake me for "them"....
Saw a blowjetter up there today who had a ALPA sticker on his case, which i found a tad ironic.

AirWillie, i doupt that you know what a scab is. also NOBODY from GJ has been blacklisted by ALPA. Eagle/AAConnection is exactly the same. Did AAConnection pilots undercut AE pilots ABSOLUTELY YES. I am one of them. The GJ CRJ's would be TSA pilots they had agree to accept the flying. Just because TSA pilots don't want to fly for 1-2 dollars more that does not mean that companies will shut down. PILOTS DO NOT OWN COMPANIES. Again why TSA did not strike. We are setting standards such as 22$ versus 24$ are you kidding me ? those 2 dollars will bring the bar higher ? THATS WHY OUR SALARIES DROPED. Not because of GJ or TSA because companies offered that kind of money and ALPA SAID go ahead guys take it. NOBODY strike.Nobody did anything about it.So quot crying about who took my flying your flying etc etc and do your jobs.Stickers mean absolutely nothing.In my eyes if I see a sticker like that the only think that crosses my mind is UNPROFFESSIONAL.
3 a: a contemptible person b (1): a worker who refuses to join a labor union (2): a union member who refuses to strike or returns to work before a strike has ended (3): a worker who accepts employment or replaces a union worker during a strike (4): one who works for less than union wages or on nonunion terms
TSA pilots stood up for their rights which was to get decent pay for 70 seaters, instead the company found scabs to fly for Gayjet. I don't know how you can support that.

exwaterski, Correct Hulas created GJ. Now what did your union did about it ?
NOTHING. See my dear fellow pilot what i do not understand is how all those (specific) TSA pilots or even pilots that they are having moral issues with GJ and outfits like GJ and they talk or are pro-ALPA and against scubs and all about blacklisting people, they now work in places such us Continental(talking about scubs), AirTran(ValueJet), JetBlue(ALPA overs and ex MEC there now) and i can get you a list of more.Again realise PILOTS DO NOT RUN AIRLINES.what you or I think won't change a damm thing unless someone does something about it. I would call GJ pilots SCUBS only if TSA pilots went on strike.Did they, hmmmm no.Why ? for the same reason probably that GJ pilots got the job. Got families to feed and time to built.
Alot of people may or may not like it but oh well, when my wifes brother got furlough after 26 years in the same company guess what ALPA and their supporters did feed his family neither pay his bills. Can you support that ?
