It has NOTHING to do with the pilots at RAH! The furlough's at Midwest happened long before the introduction of E170's in MKE when the MD-80's were removed and 717's were sold to Mexico. RAH's pilots want the best for all involved and a master seniority list, period. No pilot crossed any line at any time! Several RAH pilot's even attended the protest's at MKE in support of the Midwest pilots. I have been a shareholder with Midwest my entire life and I have seen the airline fall apart over the last few years. RAH is hoping to benefit from the wonderful crews at Midwest and what they bring to our organization. I hope they feel the same way. The only other option for Midwest would have been Chapter 7 and no jobs. The talk now is all jobs back, integrated seniority list, and with everyone's help a great new contract. Stop the bashing, start supporting the cause or quit and let someone come back who is positive and needs the job.
