I can't wait to see the spin on replacing the crown jewel "Midwest Class" seats with RJ seats when (if) Timmy is successful in putting those 12 on his ticket. Whatta piece of...

That was my point, it is a different class of flying in a different class of market. The 88 seats in the expensive Boeing is no longer profitable or practical. If the general public were willing to pay for a window or an isle in a first class seat Midwest would not have to be doing crap like this but it appears the public is not willing to pony up. Timmy didn't seem to have too much trouble packing people into the Crj. Wait 'til his passengers can walk down the isle or stand up in the bathroom.
You guys are taking me all wrong on this, I am not supporting this move one bit. It's just that we as pilots have very little to do with any of it. The Midwest pilots have a better chance at making a difference in this deal. We don't actually have a grievance until the company try's to dry lease the airplanes. And at the that rate its not that we don't YX pilots flying 170's we just don't want them flying our 170's and it is a CBA scope violation at that point.
