If our situation is grim, it is worse for the Midwest pilots. It is a much lower step down from where they were than for us at Lynx. Commuting for a right seat job at any regional is out of the question and I'm not holding my breath that any integration with republic will be acceptable.

I do not see it as the RAH pilots fault, but without them we would not be looking at a furlough. We are not being shutdown due to a lack of outside flying, the flying we were doing for Frontier has been given to another.

Dirty Rat, can I borrow your old tagline "Whacked by Republic" since your not using it anymore?
Feel free to do so my friend. I am sorry for what is happening to you. All the best to you, your co-workers and your family. I think there will be airlines out there like Air Tran and Continental that will step up to the plate and offer you preferential interviews like they did us. Then maybe we can all get hired by them and run this cockroach out of business.

They're going to build their own, from sticks, wood and fabric.

The Denver Post quoting APC? No wonder I disregard everything the media says.
