BTW, for all the fanatics out there, I said RAH's management not their pilots. With the exception of 1 very naive individual, I really do have the outmost respect for that pilot group.
Your first point: I hope you are being sarcastic. RAH would never pull a "GO" in Hawaii. It would never make sense. Rightseat Ballast makes some great points.

Your second point: Let me guess who the individual is, would it be TD?

I'm sure if you were one furloughed to maintain a couple tenths in profit margin you'd see things differently.

I'm sorry but no I wouldn't. I don't want to see a single person on the street and will support any action, including flying only min guarantee, to bring everyone back however I still understand why people are there. It wasn't BB's fault that 17 aircraft quit flying. Being hired by someone else puts you on the reactionary end of things.

It's interesting, at the Midwest drive, it was clear that the pilots didn't have a problem with the RAH's pilots, but they sure had a few words for their management. Apparently when you're on the other side of the coin it's a lot more clear than for those few delusional souls at RAH that think the transaction is good business.

I wonder what the Hawaiian's pilots we'll have to say about this?

You're saying that it's more wise to leave 12 aircraft sitting on a ramp losing money rather than have them flying producing revenue? That's delusional?

Or do you mean the transaction isn't good for the pilot groups? There's a difference. You need to realize that. I don't know of anyone that supports it.

A little history lesson for you, Eastern and Continental in the 80's...what's not good for the pilots certainly didn't prove to be good for the company long term. Short term profit scams at the expence of the labor groups will take their toll on the company further down the line.

BTW, where were you the other day at the rally? A few of us from Houston were looking forward to introducing you to the Midwest guys.
