So can you explain what the lousy pay scales have to do with pilot qualifications? Lynx pilots took the bankruptcy pay cuts and lived through the stress of chap 11 just like the F9 pilots. Lynx pilots are very well qualified and have great character... does that make us "worthy". Nobody liked how things turned out but nobody thought we had the right to be bidding into the airbus. I have 6-7 F9 friends that have offered their "Silver Bullet" (guaranteed interview) to me when they start hiring if I decide to apply. Not bragging but just stating to show the mutual respect all of us had and still have for each other. In 3 years I never saw any "my plane is bigger than your plane" crap like RAH brought.

And yes, I agree Midwest guys should get preferential interviews at ANY airline they apply at.
