RAH isn't going to keep the Midwest certificate? When/where did they say that?

I'm truly impressed with the class and respect shown by the RAH pilot group.

Unfortunate.

Town hall pod cast. 190s will be on rw certificate and yx operating certificate will go away. Brand name stays, just the operating cert goes.

That seems like a great way to get the YX guys to expidite the seniority integration.

After the Midwest pilots fall in line he'll most likely change his mind and decide to keep the certificate.

I hope the Midex guys stick it out just to make and educate some of the RAH pilots on how things work. Thus getting a pay rate for a plane, work rules, and mostly how seniority will win out and they will be placed before most of you fools.

I surely hope, most RAH pilots dont have your attitude about things. Because its sad and very unfortunate to the industry as a whole.

I hope not. 300 have been sacrificed, whats another 100 more? In the glee to get rid of Midwest, RAH loses their payrates for that certificate as leverage in bargaining, but they can then fly a 190 for $37/hr. Whopee!

I don't see how you can determine my "happiness" when all I was doing was answering a question with factual information. Sadly for the current yx guys the longer it takes to intergrate the worse off they will be. I agree our union is lacking, but once the intergration is done ALPA will be a nonfactor as all current yx guys will eventually be teamsters. I speak for myself only and not the entire rah list, but I am hoping for doh with the yx guys fenced into Mke.
