And then get sued by the Frontier and Lynx pilots for illegal actions? Four pilot groups are being integrated. It's a freaken labor law pooh storm. And, yes, the Midwest guys are stuck in the middle of it and it's not fair. In the long run, hopefully they'll be flying some Airbus' or EMB's, but for right now the only folks getting work out of this deal is the labor lawyers.

Actually, when we were shopping for unions, ALPA didn't want to have anything to do with our 200-ish pilot group, so we had to go with Teamsters by default. And, other then putting out a tearjerker video after Midwest's last flight, what did ALPA do to help out Midwest?
