Sounds like Rev BB morals have rubbed off on the Republic pilots. Forget FAIR and EQUITABLE.

Just hope the arbitrator sees it alittle different.

Glad you got out my friend. Congrats again on the new venture. Keep your fingers crossed I'm not too far behind you.

If Airtran and SWA run RAH out of Mke it won't much matter how many people senior to you leave. It also would mean that everyone from Midwest who lost their job will never get it back. For all the people who root for the demise of RAH it means 3281 pilots (by the count of the pilot central site for Frontier, Lynx, and Republic plus the number I know for Midwest), and who knows how many Flight Attendants, mechanics, gate agents, etc etc, would lose their jobs. A certain percentage of job losses always end in some further tragedy for the furloughee and their family. People are often glib when they speak of other peoples jobs.
Even if I end up somewhere else during this transition I hope Republic is a success. Not for the sake of the Bedfords or the Wexford capitals of the world. It is for the sake of all those who would be on the street, and for the sake of all those furloughed who would come back. (by the way 170Homie, this isn't a dig at you personally, it is only meant for those who seem to hope for the demise of RAH. Maybe they'll think of the human costs if their stated wish actually came true)

Yeah,I guess if YX had bought RAh you'd go to the mat for the RAH pilots,right ? You would have fought for "fair and equitable" for Republic pilots' integration,even if it meant you lost some seniority,right ? Bwahhahha !

Can't say I heard one person talk about Republic as a good place to work.

It might be better for our professional that it goes out of business. Better, more employee friendly airlines would pick up the flying and add pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, CSRs, ...

MD80

You can bet on it! It must be hard to think that way working at Republic.

frankwasright

You have lost all credibility ! You're telling me you would stand up for the same people you bash daily ? Ha.Not a chance and NOBODY would buy that.Be sure to explain that when you're snatching gear for a 25 year old captain !!

Here's a question. Why did the Original Midwest hire so many geeks on to their seniority list. Good god people get a life.

MD80

Is that line suppose to get under my skin? Not. Where Republic pilots seem to be all about the upgrade, the Midwest pilots are beyond that way of thinking.

Maybe that why we would approach the integration of two (merged) airlines different then the 25 year old captain. We would want an integrating where no pilot group gained and/or no pilot group losses very much because of the merger.

It's just a different approach to life or maybe a different union culture.

Good question? You tell me.
