And why is an FO from Colgan throwing stones again? Oh yeah that's right - I'm sure his vast flight experience and thousands of logged hours is chocked full of valuble knowledge and advice for the rest of us. Either that or he's newbie who doesn't really know how this business works.

Express Jet just locked up more flying with UAL and will have close to 100 pilots coming back starting in January.
If you think these are the same thing and are both examples of "undercutting," you are mistaken.

Folks, this is what's called being "stunningly ignorant." It's people like this that make me sick. One should never judge an entire group of people for any reason. Call it what you want, but I'll call it prejudice and intollerance. It makes me sad to hear people preaching their hatred towards others.

We can blame each other all day long while the Fat Cats are laughing it up at the country club smoking big cigars and thinking of new ways to make money multiply.
At the end of the day, we (the little guys) have no control over what the company we happen to work for does. We are all just trying to make a life in our chosen profession. I'm sure most of us would rather work somewhere else (unless you work for Fed-Ex, UPS, SWA, NASA, NetJets, Oprah or USAF flying Air Force One).

Republic did not undercut Midwest. They bought them out for the name and routes of Midwest. Midwest is now a virtual airline. ITS GONE!!

Midwest Airlines is a subidiary of Republic Airways. You guys really think the industry is going to forget the actions of Republic pilots in undermining negotiations and "locking-out" Midwest pilots from integration at their own airline.
