Your statement that "I" displaced 400 pilots is full of crap. Why don't we blame every German for the Holocaust? That would be stupid now, wouldn't it?

He didn't say "you" displaced 400 pilots. He said you work for the man who did. Can't much argue with that now can you?

I would think he would take responsibility for putting Mesa pilots on the street, not United pilots. As said before, this is a redistribution of flying..

United pilots are on the street because of the replacement of their 737s with EMB-170s and CRJ-700s. Sure you can throw blame on 50-seat aircaft, but be honest with yourself on which airplanes are more comparable.

Like I said before

Some pilots will fly for free. Some will hit streets and some will make career changes. Fact of life in the biddness. Go figure who will make a career of 30-40 years with the same Co.

Deal with it and stop whining. Better yet get your Teaching Doctorate and teach these neewbies what the biddness is all about so they dont have Expectations

UAL doing an RFP is much different than RAH buying an airline, furloughing all their pilots, replacing ALL flying with riddle diddles, and leaving every mainline pilot on the street.

Your argument holds zero merit.
