Its disgusting what happened over there. I was in MKE the other day and saw all the "Midwest" replacement jets there after all the mainline pilots and planes were parked.
Agreed.

Although the Midwest pilots' Reps voted for the changes to our union's merger and fragmentation policy that watered down its intent and voted against scope issues in the past. They ratified their Section 1. I feel badly for those guys, but their leadership sowed the seeds that grew into outsourcing their entire flippin' airline. Are they responsible for what happened to them? ... sorry, but yeah, sort of.

We need to take a very cautionary lesson from this example, but we (just like they did) believe that we can outsource some of our jobs and keep it under control.
