Ahhh, okay, so how is this different for the Republic guys who are negotiating a E-190 pay rate? Won't they be able to file for federal mediation and negotiate a new 190 pay-scale? By looking at APC, I would hope that they would be able to get something within reason of the Frontier Airbus/Midwest 717/JetBlue 190 rate for their new 190 aircraft.

I guess I'm still not sure why some Midwest pilots are reluctant to fly the E-190, if the pay is being negotiated for the better? Like I said before, I'm not trying to cause anyone harm, just trying to understand the big picture.

Good luck to everyone involved in this web-of-a-mess!!
