Don't know Dirty Rat, but I think his bitterness is justified. All in all, I find it abhorable that some of you Rep guys don't seem to have the smallest ounce of compassion or sympathy toward the Midwest guys. Not knowing all the details, I cannot speak in absolutes, but I find it disgusting that a pilot group could sit by idly while another pilot group is eradicated to the unemployment line.

Personally, I think F9 pilots should do what they need to as a pilot group. Rep pilots don't seem to be concerned about uniting with pilot groups the company acquires, thereby allowing an environment of whipsawing to occur. Only problem here is that the Rep pilots don't like being on that sour end of the whipsaw.

As for Dirty Rat, and any of his Midwest counterparts, I truly wish you guys and gals all the best in the future, and I would be happy to help any of you out in any way I can.
