Believe me, I understand why you guys are upset. And I am not defending the actions of GoJet pilots, management etc. But one could very easily say that GoJet, TransStates and Mesa are taking jobs that used to be held by pilots at ACA, Air Wisconsin and more specifically United itself. United furloughed while several express carriers were hiring pilots to fly the same routes in United colors. Last I checked non-union pilots from Sky West are flying United Express aircraft out of Aspen where ALPA pilots at Air Wisconsin used to fly. TransStates pilots are flying former American Eagle aircraft on American/Eagle routes in direct violation of Eagle scope. Air Wisconsin is hiring pilots to aircraft in USAirways colors on routes that used to be flown by mainline USAirways pilots now on furlough. The list could go on and on. The point is that we are all "stealing" jobs from other people. If you fly an RJ in United, American, Northwest or USAirways colors, you are guilty (myself included) of stealing jobs from mainline pilots who are now on furlough. To single one group out and apply a label to them that doesn't fit seems foolish when there is very clearly a large carrier out there that fits the definition perfectly and is for some reason given a free pass.
