No whipsawing? What do you call hiding behind all these certificates? That's a whipsaw in itself..... American says you cannot fly a plane over 50 seats.... "Oh well CHQ is a differerent certificate so we are legally following the contract."
Does your scope clause speak to what happens with pilots whom are furloughed pilots with a DOH long before many of your pilots were even out of Junior High? I have a bad feeling the Midwest guys will have the USairways furloughed pilots results after that merger. They will be put at the bottom of the list and not one RAH pilot will even care how wrong it is.... Fact is these guys are great additions to their pilot group but they are too young to realize it as a whole.....
But I mean I guess it means the Captain who only has been at RAH 3-4 years belongs in the left seat over the Midwest B717 Captain or the MD80 Captain who has ten of thousands of flight hours.... I just do not see this ending good. And if it does and they all agree, I will be the first to admit I am wrong....
Is there even a Midwest any more? I mean or are all the planes going to say Connection? Even the mainline E190s?
