I get it. It's fair to layoff 75% of the Midwest pilots and use the 170 (not the 190) as the primary instrument in that. You simply ignore that.
A senior FO, about seniority number 240 or so, at Midwest had the same earnings as a senior CA at Republic, with POTENTIAL to increase. Their career earnings expectations were very similar. These were the facts before one 170 was on property. Let's be real, this deal didn't happen in summer 09, try a year before that.
