I think a LOA written by the Republic EXCO to BB would stop the finger pointing. It's up to BB to say, Yes or No.
If BB says No (my guess), the Midwest pilots will know BB is locking them out not the Republic pilots.
If he says Yes, the senior Midwest pilots would rightfully use their seniority to (20+ years) stay off the unemployment lines and be given temporary bidding rights.
That honestly sounds like a fair request. What are the teamsters saying about any of this? I have faith in the RAH pilots, but I have 0 confidence in Bedford, I think when it's all said and done, he's going to prove why the bible and his business model are a painful contradiction.
Best of luck, here's hoping it all works out for all parties involved.
