OK, so let me get this straight:
I am an unemployed former Aloha pilot. There is and was no strike at TSA. I also have a tough time finding any operators/airlines out there that are currently hiring. Now unlike my UAL/AA/CO counterparts who have an airline to return to, I don't. My currency is running out, and we all know that most places want you to be current and have some recency of experience as part of their minimum requirements. I also did my regional time banging away in turboprops before moving onto Boeings. I had a career job, and now I got set back literally 8 years.
Now let's see... there's no ALPA job action against GoJet, there's no ALPA recruitment ban against GoJet, what do you have to tell me that I shouldn't feed my family? Should I give up 13 years of paying dues all for a regional squabble over a minimum wage job?
I tell you what... if you happily employed Pinnacle pilots, Republic pilots, ASA pilots, Delta pilots, United pilots, Airtran pilots, Southwest pilots are so adamant about protecting this profession against the GoScum and the like, then start an adopt-a-furloughee program and take assessments to pay our BASIC living expenses after our unemployment benefits run out. You do that, and then you'll have a leg to stand on. But until you do... you all look like a bunch of whining crybabies who are used to getting served everything on a silver platter.
No, I do not work for GoJet.
pilots who are willing to work for next to nothing
Sadly, you have been recipient of the kind of damage pilots who are willing to work for next to nothing can do to this industry yet you still don't understand that they only way to shut pilot whorehouses like GoJet down is to cut off their supply of pilots. Why would anyone consider paying you more when they know you will work for less? With all of the support you are getting from other posters on here its no wonder this profession is circling the drain.
Getting back into the industry is tough without currency but its been done countless times over by pilots with a lot harder luck than yours. If things keep up you won't have a profession to come back to.

Well, lets see, your company got put out of business by a regional with questionable business practices, and now you wanna know what's wrong with going to work for one?
