Oh, and guess what, even if either the Frontier or Republic guys wanted to refuse the flying on principle, they couldn't. It would be an illegal work action, and those ARE AGAINST THE LAW, or are you so blinded by irrational anger and hatred that you can't understand that? Midwest is owned by RAH now, as is Frontier, so using RAH and/or Frontier pilots to fly old Midwest routes is management's call, whether you like it or not. What's happened to the YX guys sucks, but it's not the fault of any pilot group...Midwest, Frontier, Republic or otherwise. Sometimes things just don't work out. Midwest pilots aren't the first group in aviation history to lose their jobs, and they probably won't be the last. Somehow, the pilots from Braniff 1 & 2, Frontier 1, Pan Am, Eastern (the guys who weren't scabs,) and many others managed to move on. The Midwest guys will, too.
you ever flown with any of the pilots you cited. The TWA guys sure haven't flying with some of them is a real PITA.
