pprada, you're not suggesting that Midwest losing more than half the the pilots which are being replaced by regional guys making half if not less is a good thing right? Not to mention the loss of mainline jets. If the union doesn't stop it then I guess there will be guys who will jump at the opportunity, as you said it, it's capitalism. We'll see how RAH pilots stand if they actually do fly those 170s replacing actual mainline flying and jobs. And no Midwest wouldn't go out of business with out your help, it's just cheaper to get contract work.
