Look, I don't condone what RAH is doing. I feel awful for the Midwest pilots, I really do. Your pilots had a great airline that provided a product that was unmatched. However, you must have left something very important out of your contract called scope protection. What happened to US Airways, United, Delta, and Northwest should have been a wakeup call. Do you really think I like to see Major airline pilots on the street while Regional pilots are getting jobs? Absolutely not! I'm just pointing out to you that you can't run around screaming Damn RAH and their pilots! Those guys sent out their apps and got hired by RAH. Sure there are probably a few tool bags that went there to fly the mighty E-170, but I would be willing to bet that most of them went there because they needed a job.
Look at:
Mesa..CRJ-700/900s
Skywest..CRJ-700/900s
Comair..CRJ-700/900s
Compass..EMB-175s
PSA..CRJ-700s
ASA..CRJ-700/900s
Mesaba..CRJ-900s
Pinnacle..CRJ-900s
Yes it really sucks that RAH broke the 100-seat barrier, but they're not the only regional out there flying around jets that belong at mainline. Be ****ed at your contract committee and your management.
BTW, I don't work for RAH..
