How can a Republic pilot watch that video, then go to work to fly a Midwest 170 or 190 without feeling shame and embarrassment? Disgusting.

Great video. We went down fighting and I am proud of all of my fellow pilots from Midwest. It was one heck of a ride.

Great video, excellent presentation by one of the industry's most professional pilot groups.

Very excellent video and a great airline. You'll be missed. It makes me sick the way you guys have been treated. Every RAH pilot needs to watch that video.

Excellent video. Hopefully everyone takes something away from what happened here so this can never happen again.

as a Republic pilot, I send my deepest sympathy to Midwest pilots and employees. I have only been in this industry for 4 years, and it disgusts me already the way management is and how they are destroying this profession that was once a proud career. I will never fly a A/C with Midwest on the side. RAH pilots are not to blame for Midwest failure, its Midwest management and until we win over management, we will never win.

This is a temporary problem. It's a big problem but temporary. Midwest guys need to make some friends on here and other forums. I'm sure there are thousands of guys at the majors who, like me, will be happy to make new friends among the Midwest guys. They are a great group of pilots who deserve all the help they can get when it comes to walking in apps when the majors hire again. They certainly have more experience than the majority of RJ guys out there.

It's incredible that they stood against something that was unacceptable. We'll see if the "regional" guys at RAH are made of the same stuff when asked to fly their a/c and routes under a regional contract. What a complete disgrace.
