I agree.
Add to this that the Republic EXCO has not put out
one communication supporting the union that is being replaced. Then add the fact that the replacement workers are being paid 50% the wages of the Midwest workers. Can't say that about TWA, Pan Am, Braniff, ...
This is a company lock-out that is being aided by Republics EXCO and pilots.
Don't hire Republic pilots
