And saab2000 you may of missed the point here. 9 is better then Zero which is where it was heading. It may still be too late. I am certain that the people of Midwest Airlines that still have jobs are thankful that Republic was able to help them keep those jobs. Keeping in mind there are other employees besides pilots.
I am sure the need for help was expressed to Skywest (the regional already taking Midwest/Skyway jobs) in some manner and they either passed or felt differently about it. I for one am not going to apologize for the manner in which our management keeps my ass in seat, food on my table and our company profitable.
That said my thoughts go out to all of those this holiday season who are less fortunate. With a little luck next season may be more merry.
First off I dont think kenny was pointing out grammar...I think he was refering to the paragraph as a whole
And 9 is not better than 0 if the Crews taking over the flying make substantially less than the original pilots.
It's your managments fault...I know...you guys had nothing to do with it.
But imagine if you guys were your own airline...were told you were too expensive to operate....so they are gonna cut your fleet down and Gulfstream pilots are gonna be taking over the flying for all buy 9 of your precious 170's...making a 1/3 of the pay...youd be pretty bitter about it too wouldnt you?
