Maybe Aviator is upset that all the other RAH/Midwest threads got locked out so he is starting another one.

Yathink?

You claim to understand the industry but you make statements like that one. Yes the flying was MEH's but it was not ripped from Skyway by a subcontractor, it was done by their Mgmnt team.

BTW, let me ask you, how many SKW pilots have come on here and made a statement like……..”RAH stole our MEH flying?” ……………………..ZERO! Not a single SKW pilot on here or off has made a statement even close to that one, they only comment on how sick it makes them feel when they think of or see what has/is happening to MEH.

No matter how you cut it the RAH:MEH debacle is sickening. Much like what the US Easties have done to the US Westies or what Mesa did to Aloha or what Eastern did to BI.................etc. This industry can be very cruel, after all, it's just business and like it or not we pilots are mere pawns.

Good Day.

Meaning what? If you think that means you don't have to worry about wake you're dead wrong. It's not just about size of aircraft. Lighten up dude.

I'm not even sure who you are talking about Skyway or Skywest, two COMPLETELY different companies. Skywest came in to fly Midex and Skyway routes. RAH came in and took over the Skywest/Midex flying by purchasing the Midwest Air Group.

If you are talking about Skyway, why would we care at all about RAH since we were shut down long before RAH came along. At least from what they allow the public to know. Second, why should we care that Skywest came in, yes they took our routes but that's not their fault. It was Midwest management.

Regional flying was unfortunately given away by the mainline pilots years ago. I personally don't like flying an rj for another company. I don't like seeing mainline 737 pilots on the street. I don't like seeing a crj900 in delta colors not being flown by delta pilots. But that's the cards that are on the table and until a mainline Mec grows some balls and gets a hold of thier scope then that is not going to change.
What sickens me about republic is that they are a direct replacement for Midwest pilots at a cheap rate. And like Md80 said there are Replacement Airways pilots going around bragging about their new lax overnight and all this great new flying they are doing. That's the sickening thing. They are nothing but a big middle finger to Midwest guys. They need so get thier collective heads out of the sand and realize what they are actually doing.

And toiletduck, wake turbulence cautions are for 767's and 757's and heavy aircraft as such, not a stinkin e170. Invitation to come back to earth.

Come on man, you know that is simply flame bait. and I throw up the flag on you. I sat for 4 hours a couple of weeks ago in MKE waiting for a flight back from Airventure, I sat for lunch outside concourse 'D' at the Burger King and had lunch with some Skywest and RAH pilots, Never saw a one of them even talk about the whole MDW/RAH debacle...it was business as usual....I wish people would stop making stuff up on APC

Show me one. Use the search function at the top.

I've hit the wake of a 737 8 miles ahead of me and it put the ERJ on it's side. He's not a heavy. You don't think a 170 could hit you rough on an approach to landing? They can and they do. Don't underestimate the power of a wake when low and slow, you've got pax back there.

From the Air Traffic Control manual, FAA Order JO 7110.65S:

2-1-20 WAKE TURBULENCE CAUTIONARY ADVISORIES
[...]
b. Issue cautionary information to any aircraft if in
your opinion, wake turbulence may have an adverse
effect on it.

(empahsis added)
--------------------------
Little did the controller know that the most adverse effect would be on the ego of the pilot in the subject aircraft.
