How does that work? So his 94 seat 190's in MKE can be flown at their current negotiated rates? 75% of the Midwest pilots are already "quit".


I meant more the FRONTIER guys.............

I see. I certainly hope the "significant scope reduction" does not come to fruition that Bedford wants in their CBA.

Chance, your making RAH pilots look very very bad

Yes, he is.

Never miss a good opportunity to shut up...

I can tell you (second hand) reps from Frontier, Delta and Republic were sizing up the Midwest hangers last week.

Why all three?

Why is Delta letting Republic develope a competing 100 seat airline with a Delta code-share?

Why doesn't Delta partner with Republic in this deal?

How does this benefit Delta?

Is there more to this purchase by Republic?

To ask you again, you would still feel that way even if you are now upgrading at a career airline?

It would be difficulty for that type of integration after the seniority integration act passed in 2008.

You are confusing the business transaction with a seniority list integration. The business transaction may not be a merger but that doesn't mean there wont be a seniority list merger.

When will people learn, stop arguing with Duck. He is a lone voice that does not speak for me or any other RAH pilot.

As for an integration, with little thought on this idea, relative % seems to be the way to go. Keep your seat in your plane(only seems to apply to F9 and the airbus). I would not know how Midwest pilots could make the transition to the 190 as they would be required to fly the 717 till they came off line. That would be a sticky point.

I would love to hear other ideas and the whole "staple" statement needs to be shut down. That is unproductive.

They will be crushed when they go to compete against any of the Major airlines....and yes, AirTran too will hand them their winglet.



This maybe the Delta plan.

Don't forget the 275 furloughed Midwest pilots and 100 furloughed Republic pilots.

And the 50+ over at Frontier? What about the 100+ at RAH? Work them all. Get everyone off the street.

I think the "most fair" integration would be where everyone is unhappy. Of course this will probably drag on for years, probably what the company wants, who knows, good luck everyone! Mod Turb at all levels!
