I think what you are missing is that management has found a way to replace pilots with cheaper pilots. The process of a strike is not possible however the end result is the same. The pilots who will do the work know that other pilots who used to do the work are on the street. I can easily see how the republic pilots would be viewed as scabs.

Grew up in the business, walked pickets with the old man in the sixties and I have a long way to go before I retire. The Republic pilots, from all indications, are doing nothing to make it possible for the pilots of Midwest to keep a slot flying and are working for less than the pilots they are replacing. You don't care for my interpretation of a word while I look at the end result of the action. I suspect the pilots squealing the loudest are flying the Republic airplanes and are afraid the attitude toward them will spread through the industry. From what I see the Midwest pilots are being prevented from striking and probably would if they could.

Where were you when scope was released? Busy walking a picket line and not minding the store? You and your peers are completely responsible for today's environment and what's unfolding and instead you blame the victims, Midwest pilots and all pilots at the regionals who hope to move on. Typical American. . . Turn the tv off, sit quietly, and use your brain for a change.

Just as I would hope all the RAH folks flying Midwest routes were forced to and did not volunteer. I would also hope that that is the same with F9 crews. Meanwhile, we will all watch how and if the Midwest folks are reintegrated back in to the fold.
I'm just saying,

I have to kind of agree with 757upspilot. The idea that Midwest will shut down operations in November and that F9 aircraft are going to show up and fly their old routes is at the very least unsavory. Does it meet the definition of the "S" word?............ Just as I would hope all the RAH folks flying Midwest routes were forced to and did not volunteer.

You tell me, does it meet the definition that is laid out B&W in the FIRST line of the Master List?
Yes, I am referring to the same list that has the name of the "Burbank fill'er up full service" Captain.
