Your lack of knowledge on this is making you look stupid. The Eagle flying was given to the American Connection carriers because Eagle couldn't staff it back in the day. TSA got the Miami flying and Eagle realized that was BS so they attempted to get it back. The Eagle pilots did not lose this flying to an alter ego airline. They were not negotiating rates for new equipment while management created a new airline to pay lower wages. The flying was given away and when they wanted it back, they got it. The American Connection flying was not a major issue when TSA pilots were getting hired at TSA, nor was TSA created specifically to steal the flying from Eagle. Hell, the flying goes back to the TWE days. You could make an argument that the flying belonged to TSA before it ever belonged to Eagle. The point is you are making a comparison where no comparison can possibly be made. You stating a fact about TSA pilots doing Eagle flying while their pilots were furloughed completely ignores the situation and tries to appeal to peoples' emotions, not logic. It makes you look bad in the end. Tell the whole story next time.
