Sounds like Midwest pilots have a lot in common with the AWA pilots.....Midwest pilots, welcome to the club of another pilot group getting shafted.

Yeah. I think you are wrong in your assesment of your own situation. ASA is now flying routes that were once flown by Delta's DC9s and 737s.
Yes, and many of those routes were previously flown by Eastern Airlines. Who owns the routes?
DCI was adding 200s, 700s, and even some 900s while Delta pilots were on the street. Where was your outrage then? And if you weren't at ASA at the time, why would you come to work for a company that you hold is such low esteem?
Because, he needed a job! ASA flew the routes because DALPA's scope clause specifically permitted ASA to do so. DALPA did not want to fly rj's, but they knew that their company needed the feed to survive.
Crossing an actual picket line? No, that's out of the question! But what is going on here has happened at every major.

WRONG!!!RSJ,
I don't want to confuse the issue with a union vs non-union arguement. If I'm not mistaken, your original position was that RAH guys are flying struck routes, and that you would give up your job before ever doing that.
My point is that ASA, and DCI, did the same to Delta pilots, and you didn't give up your job.
I may be a little off in the timeline, but if I remember correctly, it has not been 6 years since TBKane was recalled. So DL has had people on the street since you've been at ASA.
You know the saying about people in glass houses, and all....
Back to the original statement. I think it's totaly wrong for RAH to be taking this flying from a Midwest pilot. What is a contract really.. Just a piece of paper to be thrown in the trash when mgmt feels like it, if you ask me....
