We were a startup, have any startups had a contract?

I don't know. My point is that they could have said you would live in one of Hussein's presidential palaces and it wouldn't have meant much without a contract. Don't even know what the certification had to do with it anyways.

You were not a major pilot nor a legacy pilot. You decided to bet your career on Kleenex corporate flight department as your long term goal.

Call a spade a spade and stop blaming us for our existence.

Midwest Airlines was a legacy airline. It is trash now.

Wow. Sounds like someone needs a kick in the knuts. It WAS a legacy. Now it's worth nothing, kind of like your attitude.

That Kleenex Corporate Flight Department was known for its outstanding customer service. Midwest received more National awards in one year than Republic has had in its entire existence. We were in demand all over the country for our Charters. Trips you could only dream about doing. I flew all sorts of Professional athletes, NBA, NHL, MLB and College football teams and basketball teams. Hollywood charters and Political charters I flew Military charters that carried heroes who were wounded in war and were chartered by my airline due to its outstanding customer care from its flight attendants. My former company was an innovator of the Cass system that you now use to jump seat around in posing as a Midwest pilot. We were the highest paid National Airline in country until we were raped by TPG/NWA and your company. You don't want to refer to us as a legacy and that's fine. But in return, I will refer to you for what you really are, a commuter airline run by a corporate Cockroach whose mission is to destroy the industry as we know it and the livelihoods of innocent people who happen to be in the way of his precious little company. You want to see the destruction you and your company have caused? Just ask any Lynx or Yx employee what they think. You won't like their answer either.

18 months ago, one of my ex-Navy buddies was the Captain of a Midwest B717 flying Presidential Candidate Obama's charter. A year ago, he had been reduced to a Reserve F/O. Today he's an FAA ACI.

I know who you are talking about. He's a good man and a heck of a pilot. To bad he lost his job to a dirtball outfit like RAH.
