The saddest commentary in this thread is that an RAH pilot would intentionally put his own brothers and sisters in harms way and put this memo out for "scab fodder". The injustices and cannibalism of this industry will continue until every regional pilot commands the historic respect of being an aviator. Posting such things are only meant to antagonize the bottom feeders of the industry and worst yet pour salt in the wounds of every Midwest pilot.
The next saddest commentary goes to the flame chasers which make their "scab comments" before a single 190 or assigned pilot has shown up. This base is going to happen with or without someone bidding for it. Do you really think RAH Management cares if they move the bottom guys on the seniority list or the top 10 FO's or Captains to MKE. The name callers are leading the spiral to the bottom. They are far worse than even a true scab (which the RAH guys are not). A scab only ruins jobs for a few, but these bottom feeders are contributing to the demise of generations of pilots to come.
The challenge for our collective futures is to support the hundreds of RAH pilots who stand tall and do not bid for MKE. Nearly the entire RAH pilot group vehemently opposes the introduction of the 190's and particularly at Midwest. For those that do bid for MKE, they know the ridicule they will face from their own pilot group, much less "Can you imagine riding the employee shuttle in an RAH uniform in Milwaukee after the 190's arrive?" if you actually bid for one of these slots.
Just once it would be great to see the patrons of this site come together to support ANY pilot group who is being forced into an untenable situation which contributes to the detriment of the industry because of their management. This is one of those opportunities.
However, more than that -- I would love to see the RAH mole posting internal memos be identified and admonished by the RAH pilot group (and everyone on this site). This future of this profession depends on such pond scum being relegated to fly for Grand China Express as their is no room in this country for them.
Grow up guys and gals -- come together and support the VAST majority of RAH pilots who will stand tall and not bid.
