Ah, but the reason they are one list now is that Mesa ALPA petitioned the NMB and were successful in making the lists one list, because in fact Freedom Air was formed strictly for flying formerly Mesa Airlines routes, and pressuring both CCAir and Mesa airline pilots to whipsaw against each other, and the sole purpose of the airline's existance was to get around Mesa's unionized pilots and their CBA.
TSA pilots petitioned the NMB for single carrier status but they were rejected because GoJet is NOT flying the same routes that TSA was flying and in fact GoJet was NOT formed to circumvent TSA's unionized pilots, but to be free from AA's scope prohibiting Trans States Airlines from operating any jets for ANYONE with jets with more than 50 seats, which was also easily proved as such in court. The forming of GoJet had absolutely nothing to do with the TSA pilots' contract with TSAH. Of course management will be management, and they did make an offer to put both airlines on one list, but that "offer" that TSAH gave to the pilots for a single list of course had a couple loop holes that the TSA pilots of course found unacceptable. GoJet, however, would have been and in fact was formed even if a single list would have been voted on, or if the TSA pilots did win their petition or court case.
Therefore, no, I submit GoJet is not an alter-ego airline, but is a completely separate airline with different routes and a completely different client, and is proved by both the U.S. courts and the NMB.
