Never -- did I blame those that could not help the situation and nothing to do with creating it. I may not have liked them sitting in the seat I used to sit in, but they were not the ones that took me out the seat.
The companies legally merged. TPG has a seat on the Republic board and owns part of the company.
Even if its a flat out purchase, Midwest pilots have a
legal right to be integrated so we can fly Midwest painted aircraft, flying Midwest passengers, to Midwest destinations. Move the integration process ahead or write a LOA for Midwest pilots to start training until a merged seniority list is finalized.
It's the FAIR thing to do.
Republic is moving your pilots into Midwest flying because some CRJ aircraft are being retired. At the same time, B717 are being retired and our pilots are going to the unemployment line.
Republics EXCO is delaying integration so Republic pilots can take over all the Midwest flying.
This is not about the actions of Midwest management or BB... the purchase agreement was signed in June. SWA/Frontier, Delta/Northwest had integration talks before the purchase agreements was signed.
Why not Republic/Midwest? You want all the Midwest flying and have worked/delayed/denied for a year to undermine our pilot group.
Call, Email, Write the Republic EXCO... Stop the lock-out of Midwest pilots.
