I wouldn't be so quick to say the midwest pilots have no choice. Remember the grievance on outsourcing? The arbitrator ruling will give ALPA plenty of opportunities if BB does what he says. The contract guarantees as a condition of sale of the company(regardless of the presence of airplanes) that the pilots go along. Since none of the pilots at midwest have any desire to receive paychecks from repugnant, expect ALPA to be a thorn in the side for repugnant for years to come. I'll give ALPA money to just do whatever it takes keep repugnant burning cash on us.
