Yes, and I thank ALPA every Delta pilot who was too good to be bothered with small seat number/short flight length aircraft.

Delta and ALPA gave me my job, I didn't outsource it or take it away from anybody.

But I do like pumpkin pie, apple pie, pecan pie. Especially this time of year.

This is how things started for MESA pilots back in 2000. First the bashing of JO then the bashing of the pilots because "how dare they work there"

Still waiting for the Republic pilots to address the Non Rev issue facing the Midwest flight crews.

Good observation. Humanity has a long way to go on the road to bettering itself. This is exactly why myself and the other decent people working in aviation never judged or looked down on Mesa pilots. Judge rah pilots all you want but we've done nothing wrong. It's just business, deal with it. Harsh? You betcha. But that's life in capitalistic America. I've been in your shoes twice before so I say you can handle it graciously if you choose to. I did. Merry xmas everyone. Even to you Larry, Curly, and Moe. I hope the future is much kinder to you and your peers than this past year has been.

I do not see how the RAH pilots have any say in the matter, not like they care anyway.

Here's what the Rev. Wackjob had to say in a weekly sermon to his subjects:

"I know non-rev travel is an important aspect of the benefits package we enjoy at Republic,
Frontier and Midwest. Rest assured we are taking the necessary steps to make this key benefit
even better. I anticipate that we will soon implement some exciting enhancements. In the
meantime, I appreciate your understanding and patience."

I guess the exciting enhancement for the F'd MEH folks is since you cannot afford to travel you don't need the benefit. Like it really is a benefit anymore anyway.

Merry Christmas

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve *** and mammon."

Back on topic. I don't get how the claim of making Midwest a virtual airline isn't lost on the supposed loyal Midwest customers.

and don't forget the golden rule: he who has the gold makes the rules.
everyone is sour grapes but this will always be the case. if you don't like it, save your money and buy your own airline - then you can make the rules instead of ripping the employees.
