so what did he do - went to Virgin America. Now he's home with the kids, making more than he was before anyway. Does VA hurt you? Maybe? Does he give a damn... I doubt it.
Of course he doesn't. That's because all he cares about is himself. He could have gotten a job out of aviation...probably paying more. Yet he didn't. Why? Too lazy.
So, instead, he took a job with a non-Union outfit knowing full well that he was undercutting every other U.S. narrowbody pilot.
Justification? "I had to feed the family." (edited by the Mod)
As far as jumpseating goes...its true, its a professional courtesy. Its also a professional courtesy not to stab your professional peers in the back.
Hey, you took the job at Virgin/Skybus/jetBlue/Allegiant knowing what they were. Don't expect the industry to support your poor decision by helping you get to work/home.
