Haha! What are you going to do with them? Hire a few pilots, then furlough them after self branding fails? Or not hire any pilots and use the ones you have, then furlough them after self branding fails. Have fun with your 190's that you cant fly for anyone.

No it wouldn't, everyone here knows for a fact that the size of aircraft we fly is directly related and in opposition to the size of BBs, umm, "ego". We simply have to get the biggest planes we can to help him justify himself.
But for me and my certificate, we would rather stay furloughed than drive a 190 at a regional. Just so you know.

They will probably go to Midwest Connect, fly under the YX code, feed Delta under the new one-way code share, cheerfully fly it for 1/3 to 1/2 of what the Midwest pilots would, Midwest will give up the rest of the 717s and bring back at least one MD80 (that they still own) just to keep the certificate and code, and we all lose (except management, that is).

EXACTLY!
We've been trying to warn everyone, but nobody wants to hear it unless it directly affects them. Well it does now, if the rumor's true.
