As for Whodee, I welcome you and hope to work this thing out to make both pilot groups become one happy family.
I would like both airlines to work together, but Republic pilots have to recognize the fact that BB/TPG/Delta used them to undermine the Midwest pilot contract.
-- BB/Delta had Fleet Restructuring meetings in July 2008 and weeks later the Midwest fleet changes were announced.
-- America and Delta use the MD80 as the backbone of their airline, but Midwest cannot use fully paid off MD80s after Sept 2008. Northwest is still flying DC9s!
-- NWA/Delta block AirTrans growth plan with $450M and months later give the keys to BB (with a Delta code-share) for 31M.
Why?
