You will get along well with the current Midwest Chief Pilot. I am sure he justified his actions with that EXACT thought process.

However if MIDEX as a whole has a different opinion than EDWIN, someone should express it, as your entire pilot group is being drug through the mud by his selfish unprofessional antics
We are not here to be "a team player." I don't want you on my team and I don't want to be on yours. I never intended to work for a commuter. I did that in the 80's. I don't care about your pilot group or your contract. I only want what's best for the pilots of Midwest who have had their jobs taken by you. If it puts you in the streets, so be it. I don't care. Will I stay? Who knows. I will be a senior captain no matter what. DOH MIDWEST PILOTS. DEMAND IT OF YOUR MEC REPS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

In Edwin's defense he was on the "candyland" side of MEH with day trips galore and home everynight!

If you currently do work at Midwest (ie one of the remaining 100), I do feel encouraged. The latest round of update emails are downright depressing in their messages.

Sounds an awful lot like the strategery the LCC East pilots used...and look at how effective it has been!

Again, folks can be internet tough-guys or they can sit down and act like the adults and professionals they claim to be and work together (gee, what a concept) for the best possible outcome for all involved parties.

I thank God I'm not directly involved in this mess, but most of the posts in this thread (and a few others) have been nothing short of an embarrassment to the profession.

You have been played by Bedford. You had all the cards when the first 170 flight release was signed and have been signing them away every since. Come 8/1, the 190 will simply nail the remaining MEH pilots in the coffin.
Im not blaming you princess? You are only a small part of the problem, if only you could be part of the solution... I want nothing more than this to be civil and get worked out but people like you deserve nothing more than their 15 seconds of message board fame.

Let's see. A pilot who is making $37.00 an hour saying one who works for five times that is "Part of the Problem". Do you ever wonder why the rest of the industry calls you a "Cancer". You just don't get it do you?

I'm on a mke overnight and I just listened to a republic check airmen at the bar talking to passengers about how his airline took over midwest and how he is an instructor pilot on a 99 seat aircraft. You guys make me friggin sick!

I get the fact that we need to improve our contract I just wish you and 320 could realize that you are gonna be mowing lawns for a living if you don't help to make it better. You can ***** and moan all you want but the fact of the matter is you have to either join us (make it better, possibly close to where it once was) or ruin it for everyone (I guess your ego is too big to try to help make somewhere better for everyone). Your choice Francis.

I need another beer..
