Hopefully, they'll negotiate better than regional salaries for the aircraft, but it might go to show all of us, that the E-170/175 is as much a mainline aircraft as the 190/95 is, and should be flown as such. Good luck to all.
I'm all for 170s going to mainline and pilots flying them for mainline rates. But if its done like this! I want no part of it! I dont want to be flying 170s for midwest undercutting the pilots as they let people go and I don't want them flying our aircraft while our guys get a thanks but no thanks kick in the pants! No matter how you look at it either RAH or midwest pilots are going to get the shaft! Unless we all take a stand!
