If you don't think your reputation has any bearing on hiring patterns then you're foolish. Take one look at how many pilots from Comair have been hired at Delta recently.
Like I've said earlier, I ride on the Midwest 170's 5-6 times a month. I make a little effort to say hello to the crew. Some of the comments I get leave me speechless.
What are we earning a reputation for, showing up to work on time and performing our jobs? What else could we be earning a reputation for? It's a crappy situation but there's nothing illegal about. I, like most of us here, hope the Midwest folks come over and are integrated soon. Most of us understand that even more good jobs are being replaced by jobs less so. There are plenty like me who hope the groups at all the majors lock down scope for all our betterment. You superior major folks allowed for this and now you judge the poor shmucks dealing with low wages and inferior work rules for longer and longer periods of time in our quest for a job with a good company. Additionally, you actually have the gall to threaten our ability to move on from jobs you all created? What a bunch of unbelievable hypocrites and Bozos many of you are.
