You don't care for my interpretation of a word while I look at the end result of the action. I suspect the pilots squealing the loudest are flying the Republic airplanes and are afraid the attitude toward them will spread through the industry. From what I see the Midwest pilots are being prevented from striking and probably would if they could.
I have to kind of agree with 757upspilot. The idea that Midwest will shut down operations in November and that F9 aircraft are going to show up and fly their old routes is at the very least unsavory. Does it meet the definition of the "S" word?............
Just as I would hope all the RAH folks flying Midwest routes were forced to and did not volunteer. I would also hope that that is the same with F9 crews. Meanwhile, we will all watch how and if the Midwest folks are reintegrated back in to the fold.
I'm just saying,
