Ding, ding, ding, ding....we have a winner.

You really nailed it, this guy makes Lorenzo seem civilized.

Forget for a second that Bedford bought his way into a morality free zone where the midwest guys are paying for it...how about the fact that this sets a precedent for other companies to attempt the same. I guarantee you Larry is sitting in his office right now, thinking of a way to bring in a codeshare while circumventing the pilot’s scope, after all Midwest pulled it off with Bedford’s help.

Apparently the term codeshare just became a free for all, screw your pilots while another company (in this case RAH) *****s themselves out to meet your needs.

I truly hope this does not become the trend, because otherwise you guys better get comfortable in your seats flying a Canadair or an Embraer product for $60+ an hour for the rest of your careers. Nice going BB, did you also execute this plan with divine intervention?
