As for the RAH pilots, the fact that they are willing to take all this flying from other pilots frankly makes me sick.
Take a Tums. There isn't a single pilot at a single company that would refuse to do this flying. They'll say they will on the internet...but push comes to shove if this were being done by anyone else you'd get the same result. As such, I'm not going to fall on a sword just to have someone step over my body on their way to my job. Telling me I need to refuse to fly and lose my job to help someone that would NOT do the same for me is retarded. Give me a legal solution that doesn't take my job away and I'd be happy to help.
It's funny how up-in-arms people get when it requires THEM to do absolutely nothing. I am not, nor have I ever, celebrated the moves my management has made. I have never been happy about replacing a crew member from another airline. But I'm not about to apologize for doing my friggin' job to a bunch of hypocrites who gave away this industry years ago.
Edit - And while we're on the subject...where was the outrage when SkyWest replaced SkyWay?
