That said and even though I was one of the ones that was threatened by uncle Gary, I still don’t support doing it to the next group.
Maybe that's true. I was not here at the time. The guys that were downgraded, were they 717 guys? Or, how would their seniority have been if you take the 717 out of the equation? Would they still have been captains? If they don't bring an airplane to the table it's hard to make a case. A similar thing happened to the Midwest guys when Republic bought them. They lost a lot of seniority because when they came over their previous aircraft was no longer on property. It sucks, but it seems that these things do happen.
It seems a little more complicated than, "Well they stole Captain seats from us."
