What happened to the Midwest pilots has nothing to do with the mainline pilots. I work for Delta so I'm not involved in your merger directly, but I think it's disgusting that you're entitled to a seat you were furloughed from when the merger was announced.
At the time or acquisition, YX was losing all it's airframes. And had most of it's guys on furlough. F9 was furloughing. So you are saying they are more "entitled" to my pitiful right seat in an RJ that I was hired into... I don't think so. I'm sorry but when we were all on the street we were all competing for jobs against each other. It's not my fault that their companies went into bankrupcy and got bought. I happened to be furloughed by a company that didn't really need to, and I got my seat back. Awful lot of belly aching from guys who have had some tough luck. Again, if the major's hadn't caved on allowing RJ's to be flown for pennies on the dollar, these mega regionals would not exist, nor have the money to acquire LCC's. 76 seats is still too much.
