No joke, this is how these people think. I would love to be there when the same bragging occurs in front of a furloughed Midwest employee.

You heard a guy talking to a flight attendant? That's your proof? That's it? If you ever choose to quit flying, I suggest you become a private investigator because we're all blown away with your mad skills.

I am sure a lot of Midwest pilots can't wait to meet some to these republic guys. So Toilet Duck, please tell us what you are going to say on your first flight with a Midwest 20 plus year captain.

Who cares? He will probably say "hello, my name is ......, pleased to meet you." Why is everyone so crazy over Republic 190s? How old are you really?

I call flame bait unless you can provide more information than that. My mother's brother's sister's dog's owner's second cousin's stepmother's brother said.......:rolleyes:

Here's one Duck, "you get the clearance yet?" or how about "my brakes, my steering, my controls, what gate are we at?"

Those words came from the mouth of a Republic crewmember sitting in the row in front of me. How much more plain can it get?

For those who bid it, they along with everyone else knew what the pay rate on the 190 is when they took the job. Did anyone see us flying it branded, nope. Here's the deal, at least for Captains. It is still the highest paying among the fleet and no doubt will continue to be under the new contract. There is not a distinction 170/175's in regards to bases. So if you are at a 190 base you will always be paid at 175/190 or per our contract 79 seats plus. This equates to $7-10k per year under the current contract and may equal an even bigger difference under the new one. For the FO's they know there are better things in store for it so you fools that think you are going to berate someone into doing something the way you think it should be done are wasting your time and APC's server space.

So you find one kid that's excited because his company is doing something besides laying people off and immediately that's "how these people" think.

And what do you mean "these people"? :rolleyes: Do we need to call the ACLU?

Chances are the Midwest employee would be more responsible and mature then you and simply remind this young man of the unfortunate few that have lost their jobs in this transaction.

"Unfortunate few" means over half the company. They lost their jobs to you. You are more than willing to come in and do their flying for less than half of what they were making. I would be irresponsible myself if I did not remind you of that fact.

Since the duck is on the 145, I doubt he will come across a 20 year Midwest captain. But, don't let the facts get in the way of a good insult.
