Why are you singling me out on this? Find one post EVER where I've been happy to have 190s. A single one. Why would you assume I'm going to do midwest flying? Have anything to back that up with either? The only guys I've heard that are so giddy about getting the 190s for Midwest are the imaginary ones people keep talking about here.

140 :D

Simply amazing that you can say this and then post what you did above in #115. At least have the decency to put a smiley behind it? Or maybe you were serious.

BTW, prior to the last furlough announcement, the Midex MEC approached management to reduce the line values to min guarentee in order to save some jobs and were flat turned down by Republic management. Actions speak louder than words.

And another BTW, does it really take you that many words to say "I have the airplane" or is this a Repubic thing?

Even if your story is true (and I don't belive it is), I am pretty sure that one pilot out of 2000 is not a large enough sample to determine "the mentality of Republic employees".

And some how the pilots are involved how in that situation? What do you expect out of a penny pinching airline that has, in one of the worst few years of running an airline, managed to save up enough money to buy two airlines and help stabelize two (well one and a half) others. That is the same thing that they did to their own pilots a year ago. And I am sure it is the same thing comair, air wisconsin, piedmont, psa, united, spirit and all the other airlines that have layed people off this past year have done. Its a buisness and we are all pawns.

Run from the blue chicken.....

What do you mean by that? Why?

With responses like this to migitate a real midwest pilot is why everyone knows all the republic group is happy to get 190s and doesnt care about anything but there group. Standing in line to get a coffee in LGA and hearing a republic guy state "we have aquired midwest and are waiting final approval from a judge for us to buy frontier". this happens everywhere and alot more than you RAH guys think. I hauled an RAH fo on the jump about a month back and he said were finally getting 190s and said that a 3 dollar and hour increase would be OK to fly it. I hope rah gets a killer contract but with the pilots i run into and teamsters???

Again, I want to hear from Republic pilots. What are you going to do when the first 190 flies in Midwest colors. Midwest guys have a contract with much stronger language concerning scope on the sale of the company. It clearly states any aircraft with Midwest on it will be flown by Midwest flight crews. If you hang "Connect" behind the Midwest, you are violating Delta's scope. IF you fly them before Midwest is meshed with you, you are a scab. So which is it? Violate Delta or Midwest?

If the union was worth a P@^# it would have this figured out. I will probably do the same thing you would do. Think about only myself and fly the damn plane. I have a family to feed too. If you think that any of your actions are going to change any action from managment you are diluted. Accept your position as a pawn. Do what your are payed to do. Hope that the guy above you dosen't crap on your head and quit wining!!!!
