We're in our 3rd year of negotiations and are/will be desperately trying to get a contract that reflects the changes that BB has done with this "regional" airline. Were you and your fellow Midwest pilots royally screwed in this situation? Absolutely. Do you have every right to be ****ed? Absolutely.
I sincerely wish you nothing but the best and that you find MUCH greener pastures than what BB is providing here.
The pilots I have encountered at RAH all seem to imply that their hands are tied. Bedford and Heller take their share of the blame as well as the Teamsters.
What is frustrating is all the talk of "just wait til we negotiate our next contract, then you'll see." I have heard RAH pilots talk about how they have fought the good fight, but I have never seen positive results.
The only conclusion I can come up with is you are waiting for the Midwest and Frontier pilots to show up and fight your fight for you. I sure hope we are treated fairly during the SLI.
