Let the man vent. There is no question the Midwest pilots got screwed. Coulda and still can happen to any one of us.

i can gurantee you that bedford will not train a pilot to fly any airplane if it will be only temporary. even if the RAH, Frontier, and Lynx unions accepted managment would never allow it.

Show me the actions of Republic EXCO supporting labor verses Rev BB in the Midwest deal.

... Show me support for the Midwest pilot union

... Show me the greivance status for flying 100 seat aircraft with 99 seat pay scales

... Show me a LOA to support active Midwest pilots at the date of merger/purchase

... Show me any steps to unite all pilots at Republic

... Show me the reason why the Republic EXCO thought management would accept a first officer pay LOA during contract ngeotiations

... Show me the honor of the Republic pilot group



I know most of your pilots just want to build time and move on to flying A320 or another carrier.

It not that easy!

Support union labor or our profession will be picked apart like the Midwest Pilot. Stop supporting Rev BB... this guy wants followers in his flock and will turn on you if you make waves like the Midwest pilots. We have strength if we work together.



ps. I don't care what the training costs are at Republic. That is Rev BB problem... he wanted this deal. We need to fight for a FAIR integration for all pilots.

Perhaps some more press releases from your MEC publicly bashing your "substandard replacements" might generate a more cooperative atmosphere.

I agree with the actions of our MEC. However, I think the time of playing nice for the Midwest pilots have come and gone. I am in favor of the Midwest MEC and that worthless Union ALPA taking this out of an arbitrators hands and into the Federal Courts. This is nothing but an intentional lockout perpetrated by BB and RAH and supported by his replacement workers.

I agree with you. My problem is not with Rev BB, because we all know he is all about reducing costs.

It's with the Republic Teamsters Union siding with management against another labor union. That is a new level of low blows by a so-called labor union.

Teamsters need to support pilot labor groups or stay out of the airline industry.

That was my master plan all along....take over midwest and watch you guys get furloughed and then laugh maniacally.

I'm also in charge of locking you guys out cause I like to watch you squirm as you can't pay your bills anymore. I guess I'm just evil like that.

Can't wait until I get displaced to MKE and can show them passengers some real customer service for less money. I guess I'm just a company guy.


Get off your high horse. The teamsters won't even talk to us, so what makes you think they'll even talk to you? From what I've heard, the pilots are totally against anything relating to Midwest/Frontier so you need to get your facts straight before you go and slander 2000 people.

PS...I hate management.

Your company took us over and threw us out in the street while you do our jobs. Are we bitter? You bet. Do I want to work at your lousy company? H--l no but until I find something else, you still have my job flying airplanes with the name of my company on the side of it in my colors. So personally, I couldn't care less about the feelings of those "2000" who stole my job.
