Being ok with this depends on your arguing point. Are we talking about midwest jobs or industry jobs? If it is midwest jobs, i am ok with it. ALL of their pilots would be unemployed ALL of em.
If its industry jobs, I DO NOT like it and believe that the industry is better off allowing unhealthy companies that aren't viable in a current market to fail.
Where do you stand? Don't argue without specific points.
And you have no proof that Midwest could've gone under, they could've easily secure financing elsewhere, just like Frontier, Northwest and USair a few years back.
Again, ignorance is abundant here. Don't you understand basic economics? The economy in October was not the economy of May. Things changed quickly and the ability to obtain financing was non existent. Look at the times and other variables, it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
Hey man I understand, it's probably not fun being a part of the outfit that's burying this industry head first, but don't lower yourself to his level by defending him.
FYI, I don't work for RAH. I had to leave the country to make a real living and move forward with a career that will never work in the US due to the demographics of our industry. Think before you make a statement please.
