I agree that this is terrible news.

Sure some Republic guys will be saved a furlough, but ultimately the higher paid Midwest pilots will pay the price, and that is unfortunate. Midwest has been on the fritz for a while, and I think this is the first time I felt they have under a year left.

The only good I can see coming out of this whole thing is if Midwest were to exercise the option to have Midwest pilots fly the EMB-170's. That would be good for the entire industry. I am afraid that Republic pilots would try to fight that. It would be so stupid for them to fight it, but it might happen.

We can only hope...
