What a classy post. Thank you for the thoughts, Holy.
The tone seems to have calmed a bit on the board. Every Republic pilot I have spoken with personally has been gracious and sympathetic. (well, maybe one exception, and that was more attitude than anything specifically said)
One of the problems is that betwen Republic, Midwest, and Frontier there are more pilots than flight hours. The only solution that comes to my mind is for Republic to be VERY successful with this new business plan. It is in all of our interests for The new "Midwest Brand" to be a success. This means that as a furloughed Midexer it doesn't help our cause to bash the new operation to the general public. It might just prolong our stay on the street..or even make it permanent.
