Please answer the question about your CEO and Midwest, here it is again in case you missed it:

How do you feel knowing that Bedford not only bought his way into a contract, but also put 300 folks on the street, all the while providing a way around a contract at a Major/LCC?

And why do you keep trying to make this about me? Are you trying to get this thread closed?

Did I predict the future or what? Bedford, furloughs... You are the purest form of the definition of a broken record...

Because we're not talking about me, we're talking about Bedford and Midwest, let's try this again:

So you're not going to answer the question? See you're trying to make this about personal attacks, but we're talking about Midwest and Bedford, so here it is again:

How do you feel knowing that Bedford not only bought his way into a contract, but also put 300 folks on the street, all the while providing a way around a contract at a Major/LCC?

I feel like it's crap.


Now you answer me.


How would you have stopped it before it happened?

Now that it has happened, how would you logically fix it? Logically meaning, not some BS like "no flying until it's rectified...blah blah blah". Anyone in the industry knows that isn't logical.

1. Picketted and rally

2. Inform the public, inform the potential pilots to stay away during this time of chaos and go elsewhere.

3. File a group grivance (which the union did already on both sides).

4. Not bid the base, so that it goes jr, potentially affecting the metrics.

5. Contact the media (only done by the midwest guys as per the circular, apparently no one at RAH had the nerve to go public with it).

6. Definitely would not come on a public board and defend a CEO who takes a page from Lorenzo's book on a public board, sending the wrong message to prospective pilots.

You see everyone can make a difference. Continue to get involve, and uphold the arbitrators ruling if in favor of the Midwest guys, even if gets you at odds with management.

My point is, you look stupid not answering any questions, and pointing out stuff that we all agree with, even at RAH. However, whatever your opinion, every regional is predatory, whether it's at a mainline expense or another regional's expense.

And you would have done this before the agreement was signed? How would you have found out about it before everyone else?


I'm done. I'll argue with you again another day on another post.

It's been fun... Cheers!

It's never fun watching a few hundred people go without a job, because a management team circumvented a contract handed to him by Bedford.

So by agreeing with me you contradicted your first post, by the way insulting people gives you zero credibility.

Man, you are good! I just can't resist responding to your jibes... How is my first post contradicted?
