You fail to understand what RAH has done, and you are distorting the chain of events to suit your own opinion, rather than objectively looking at what happened.

When RAH became the replacement company for all but 9 of Midwest's 717's they were hired to replace existing planes and crews... They weren't being hired to bring in more feed, or to expand the route structure, they were brought in as a direct replacement. How you can not understand that is beyond comprehension...

The fact that many months later RAH bought midwest is not relevant to RAH's actions up until that point. Midwest furloughed pilots and contracted with a replacement company, as assuredly as if they had hired individual replacement workers directly.
