I don't think I've ever heard the answer to this, and sorry for the thread drift, but to those that were furloughed TSA guys/gals that went to Gojets did they keep their TSA seniority number? Not bashing them at all I know they needed to eat just wondering if they can come back to TSA should things get better.

Then you or whoever else is a TSA furlough is welcome to surrender their TSA seniority number.

yeah suuure they should have just volunteered to fly a larger aircraft for the same pay instead of standing up for fair wages. Then all you nuts defending the GoJets business model would have been whining that TSA was bringing down the industry for that exact same reason!

The fact of the matter is if TSA is gone or whatever happens, one of these same regionals that is praising you right now will get right in and take your flying in a heartbeat. Secure the flying, they never owed you anything in 05. You would have had something to work with now. Eagle,RAH,Mesa they all had to give up something in order to not let what happened to TSA happen to them.
