Wow, way to be supportive. I see what you mean, but it's kind of hard not to take offense at it. A handful of the Lynx folks who are trained and experienced flying the Q in the mountains get to keep their jobs another six months and you guys immediately call it a contract violation.

Your contract says Republic airplanes must be flown by Republic pilots, correct?
So Republic buys Lynx, how are Lynx pilots not Republic pilots now? They may not be on the same seniority list... YET, but that's not management's fault, that's because of the arbitration process. You guys can call it a contract violation all you want but whether or not it is, is very debatable, I'm sure you guys would love to see more Lynx employees out of a job just so you can have a glimmer of expansion out of Denver and a new airplane type. Would it be ok in your eyes if they stapled the Lynx pilots to the Republic list then instituted a seat lock, then furloughed them in April?

Maybe this is why IBT is keeping their mouths shut?

We are our own worst enemy.

Remind me, when is arbitration supposed to be finished? The sooner we can ALL get back to work the better I think.
