Default Midwest pilot lock-out by Republic Teamsters

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 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 were signed....

Why not Republic/Midwest? Republic pilots want all the Midwest flying and have worked/delayed/denied talks to undermine our pilot group.


Stop the lock-out of Midwest pilots.
