Give me a giant break. You guys are the ones gleefully killing the Midwest and Frontier pilots. The ironic part is while you're high-fiving each other in your crew room, you don't realize that every job you steal is one less legacy type position for YOU to fill.



Except that by taking these jobs you increase the likelihood that YOU will retire as a Regional airline Captain. Sort of like cutting off your nose to spite your face.



Right as rain.



It is IF you intend to retire as a Regional airline Captain. I don't know about you, but my goal was the Majors.



Don't hold your breath. They've demonstrated their shortsightedness when they didn't refuse to fly the Midwest outsource in the first place. And if you're imagining the Teamsters are going to do anything that might impact their dues income, forget it.



Time to change your screen name to "Pollyanna". If you think for ONE MINUTE the RAH MEC will agree to any furloughed pilot to be slotted in above an active RAH pilot, you're dreaming. It would be nice if pilots were selfless and altruistic. History shows we are not.



Not one airline pilot will ever "walk the walk" if it means the loss of one seniority number. You know that.



But it is a nice sentiment.
