Put yourself in a junior skywest pilots shoes... he's been displaced to IAH, and his schedule has him flying into and out of IAH. What would you have him do? Quit? Refuse the work, and be fired? I'm not sure what you expect of us, because it seems like you think we have some power in this situation.

I myself am not junior enough to be displaced to IAH and won't have to do any of the flying in question, but I'm afraid that's not the case for a good number of pilots at SkyWest who will be FORCED into flying the routes.
You'll deny them a seat to get back home, see their wife and kids all because you don't like what your CEO has decided to do with RJ route structure. I agree, they ******* on your contract, please go to court over it, and I'll cheer your victory.

But I again ask that you give them a reasonable option that won't get them fired.
