BB is a POS. I think he looked at the Midwest fleet and pilot group as a liability. Getting the Midwest aircraft off property prior to SLI benefited the company in several ways. His decision was great for the bottom line but terrible for the Midwest pilots and I'm sure he would love to see a small percentage of that pilot group join the party after SLI. As I said before the true enemy is management.
So to answer you directly the reason I accused you of slanderous flame bait is that Midwest did bring aircraft to the operation but BB parked them ASAP. The reason I called out Rat is that he is crazy enough to think the RAH pilots were in on the deal with Management. He has not accepted the fact that RAH management does what they want and listen to no one else that dissents. Just go ask Sean Menke what he thinks about BB and company. I believe he cast his vote on the RAH management team when he left.
I'll tell you why I hold the RAH pilot group in contempt. They did absolutly nothing to try and stop this other than say "There's nothing we can do. It's our flying now. What are we suppose to do?" All while they are climbing into replacement aircraft painted in Midwest colors. The idiots on here talk about how we bring nothing to the table. I bring 20+ years to the table. It's gone now and the continued silence from this spineless RAH pilot group says it all. They don't know the pain and suffering a lot of good people are going through right now. They don't feel the pain of families having to sell all they have just trying to survive and hoping to come back to a job that was stolen from them. I just hope we can toss as many of them out into the streets as they have of us. Let them sit on the outside and wonder what happened.
