How does Republic get paid for the Midwest flying? If it's a CPA, I would hardly call that a "codeshare." But I'm not a judge.....

Bad news, sorry to hear it.

Do you all not get that if RAH didn't give Midwest money and this agreement didn't happen Midwest would be out of BUSINESS!!! While I don't think anyone liked this arrangement when it was announced or now that it has been almost 5 months, RAH is not a cancer....just an opportunist!

No matter what you try to do Polish it up at Turd will Stink.. Most people are starting to get the impression that that RAH is Quickly becoming the New MESA....

Show me any such document that states that Midwest could not secure financing elsewhere, or that they were going to go under for that matter.

Bedford is a cancer to the industry, and he just set a very bad precedent for all in this industry. As I said earlier, have you consider the long term potential effects to your career?.....Yeah, that's what I thought.

Remember, 170/5 drivers at RAH think they're Mainline.....

Can I be the first of many to say it? Can I?

RAH SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


...and to preempt the inevitable comeback from Bedford-lovers, yes I fully recognize that Compass sucks too. Pretty much anyone flying >70 seats for regional wages does.

Guys don't fool yourselves here, it was Bedford that set the stage for the management at Midwest to pull this off. And before any of you guys at RAH come on here defending him (TD) think about what this means for your long term career goals.
Rumor is that the arbitrater delayed the decision for so long 'cause he was vacationing over the holidays somewhere out of the country ??????

Things that make you go ......huh?????

Why does everything that stinks have ALPA in it? SWA and AMR don't seem to have nearly the scope issues that the other ALPA carriers have...
