Grounded,

I do indeed have far better things to do with my time than go around correcting the inarticulate posts and kindergarten level spelling I see on this board from time to time. You obviously missed the point of my post, which was heavily laced with a slight hint of sarcasm.

You may be well patting yourself on the back for "saving" Midex (I still can't believe you had the nerve to say that, even on an anonymous forum) but I think you would find, if you took the time to stop being so smug, that the Midex crews are far from grateful to Shutubqua. Certainly not the 2 crews I sat with from DCA-MKE and back, a couple of weeks ago.

Their feeling is that they would rather have had a choice to go down with the ship, so to speak, rather than have someone like you telling them they should be grateful to the mighty E-Jet pilots of RAH for flying aircraft in Midex colors, on Midex routes and for substantially less.

A little bit of common sense and humility goes a long way in this business. You should try them sometime.
