Look, I try to keep things positive with the Midwest folks, Lord knows none of us here want you guys on the street.

But seriously, you need to go spend your time doing something more constructive. Your constant whining and *****ing about the Republic Pilots is annoying, childish and degrades any respect for yourself or those you speak of on your behalf.

Legally, you don't have rights to any flying. Bedford owns your operating certificate, he owns your routes. They aren't yours anymore. If you're so convinced that you are entitled to any of that flying, then go get a Cessna 310, pull it up to the gate in MKE and go do your Midwest flying. Just make sure you have the cookies nice and warm. All you have left is a Union (just as weak as the IBT mind you) and the prospect of a job at Republic. Guess what? Thats what happens when companies can't keep black ink in the books.

You need to face reality, and that includes the reality that the Republic pilots are not doing this to you or your co-workers. Bryan Bedford and his management team are. The IBT union is a joke, no surprise. Our own EXCO won't even communicate any info about integration. The majority of Republic pilots are not happy with the IBT or with Bedford's decision. But there's nothing we can do until a new Union is in place.

I'm telling you man, you're in the wrong position to be wanting to pick fights with Republic pilots.....we have no say in this and the only thing you're going to do is create tension in the cockpit down the road when the Midwest pilots are on the roster, and that does nobody good. Channel your frustration through your union, not our pilot group.
