Unless the former employees get to be part of the "new" Midwest I would advocate a movement to not give them your business. One could make the claim that other airlines were not that to begin with so what's the difference? The difference is that they are not essentially foreigners capitalizing on the reputation of a "local" brand.
Either let them compete as their own brand against other out-of-town'ers, hire the former employees as you propose, or don't give them your business.
Good point. What most people don't realize is that there would not be the brand had it not been for the people who created that brand and won award after award. Something the "new Midwest employees, a.k.a. as Republic, will never ever achieve. They are nothing but cheap replacements who are willing to undercut those that paved the way for them. I for one will never let my family fly on any Republic flight. NOt only do I detest them, I question some of their standards.
