Again, anything I can to do to legally hurt RAH and BB's bottom line I will do. Cut on a tire? Change it. Missing a static wick? I would feel better if it were fixed. Bird strike? Airplane will not move until a complete bird strike inspection is performed. That means opening up the cowling on each engine and a borescope perfomed. One approach and then its off to the alternate. APU running entire flight? Safe thing to do in my opinion especially at night. MEL question? That could take thirty minutes or more to figure out. No single engine taxi outs. Twenty minute warm up on all engines on first flight of the day. If that means giving up a spot in line for twenty or thirty aircraft, so be it. Five hundred pounds above min required for takeoff. If not, will probably need to return to gate for more. Again, just to be safe. Irate passenger? Return to the gate to solve the problem. These are just a few of the items I will practice with my fellow RAH crewmembers. Won't it be fun?

"Substandard Replacements". What part of that do you not understand? When your job is farmed out to someone making less than half of what you were doing it for, it is a "Substandard Replacement". If RAH hired a bunch of illegals to handle your ground ops for $4.00 an hour and got rid of your regular people, who by the way were replacement workers themselves, it would be "Substandard". You were a "Substandard Replacement" of my job. No where did he say anything about the experience level. Any more facts to make up?

And yes, it'll be fun. But it won't happen because once again, you're all talk.

Come on, the Republic EXCO could have tried to support the Mdwest pilots but he didn't want too. He could have supported "Fair and Equitable" actions but he didn't want too.
Don't ask we to support Republic Airways after they have not even tried to support the Midwest pilots or Flight attendants.
I expected the Republic EXCO to...
1. Write a letter of support for the Midwests pilots to Bedford and my MEC.
2. Write a LOA supporting the Midwest pilots for temporary bidding, a fast integration and recall rights before any furloughed pilots.
I never expected you guy to strike, but I did expect something more then "it's my flying now".

What's truly pathetic is that there are a lot of really decent guys from your carrier who being tarred by your actions and those of others. I don't know the RAH ExCo and don't know if he's a jerk or not. Don't care either. His "job" isn't to listen to your "demands." His job is to represent his pilots. Just like your MEC Chairman's job was.
Regardless of where you end up, you seriously need some anger management classes bud. Otherwise you won't make it past indoc.

What kind of alternative universe do you live in, Chief? I've watched you and a few of your compatriots take multiple daily dumps in the RAH messkits, and for that you expect them to support you because YOU demand it?

You must be big into Teamsters. I don't demand anything. This is only a webboard to share information and opinions.
I do think (my opinion) the Republic EXCO could and should have taken actions to support another union... or is this really about a fight between two national unions. If labor can't give token support to other labor groups under attack we are in big trouble.
Maybe I missed something.
Tell me what Republics EXCO did to support the pilot union at Midwest?
