Republic EXCO will fill all the jobs with furloughed Republic pilots and new hires to help Rev BB cost labor costs.

I just hope the arbitrator sees though the actions of the Teamster Union and Rev BB to bypass the Midwest Pilots labor contract.

"All commercial flight operations (whether revenue, non-revenue, scheduled or non-scheduled) conducted by the Company will be flown by pilots whose names appear on the Midwest Airlines, Inc., Pilot System Seniority List."

I spoke to a furloughed RAH pilot the other day and he knew nothing of this agreed to timetable. Despite his impending recall. He complained about the lack of info from IBT,but I was surprised to find out he was so uninformed.

MEH council 30 keeps us updated weekly via e-mail and on the ALPA site.

How long has this "travesty" been going on for... 4 months at the most?!? Again, why do some guys seems to think this integration should happen over night? As YXnot posted a timetable of the integration that alone proves ALL groups are willing and actively working to solve this crap situation for all groups Midwesst guys especially.

You should be ashamed of yourself for saying of all people that the PILOTS of RAH have blood on their hands! If that is your logic, than Southwest pilots also have blood on their hands when ATA fell and their pilots got sent packing right? Or how about the laid off AWA guys senior to actively flying new hire's at Airways... do those Airways guys have blood on their hands as well? No, they dont! When airlines are merged/acquired their will be blood... but on the managements and or unions hands, not the pawns. I hope you never have to experience a merge, believe me... its not the most pleasant thing for any group involved. But if you do, maybe you will understand how out of touch your perspective is.

So should we have let X go out of business? Their management and sorry union did that to them. Maybe if we just watched them go out of business without our help they wouldn't be crying soo much. If you don't like the circumstances then do us all favors and don't come over! We helped YX remember, they brought nothing to the table!
