Midwest management sold out their entire pilot group, yet you place the blame on the pilots of RAH? United just retired their last 737 and lots of crews are out of jobs and yet XJT is adding UAL flying. This decision was made by United management just the EXACT SAME as a decision was made by Midwest management to sell off the company and its crews. I guess if karma is going to be an issue, you better hope United doesn't hire again in the future.

I have seen the Midwest video and it is sad for sure. I hope and pray for the best for all the crews and employees and Midex. I hope we can get them on property ASAP! They did nothing wrong, yet management has sold them out after all they gave to make Midwest such a great company.

Just like you said, what people say doesn't mean crap. I am seeing DOT numbers that indicate that we beat XJT in performance system wide, yet you see completely different numbers from your company. I guess we'll just have to call it even. I think the reliability at XJT is great compared with most regionals, but CHQ is also very, very good. Again, I have had NO cancellations caused by MX since operating the CoEx flights, nor do I hardly ever here about one (except for the damn CRJ's)! I think Continental prides themselves on having good regional partners and is willing to pay a bit more to achieve this. I have had nothing but positive feedback from Continental since we started flying in Cleveland.
