Any Midwest guys or gals around?

[scoreboardII]

So the question begs, F9 has made mention that if aquired, their (F9) unions rules would be used, mandating one pilot list, hows that going to work out?

After reading the commuter airline whipsaw setup that is Republic, I'm in disbelief FAPA decided to be part of this mess. You may as well be cfi's hoping for your 1st job, that's who you'll be yanking gear for. Feel sorry for the FO's though...SWA senioity # gone. That just sucks.

Who says this is the final play?

It was a pipe dream, there never was any SWA seniority #.

Captain,
I think you are right. FAPA either wanted or agreed to a deal weeks ago.

Will you help us or should we just fade away silently?

YX pilots blaming management will have no effect on our situation. Management is making a concerted effort to eradicate every one of us.

Republic Pilots: I've read many posts that state "we're just doing our job," "it's not our fault, we feel bad for the YX guys but there is nothing we can do about it." A comparison that I would draw would be the many war atrocities which have occurred throughout history where the offending parties who committed horrible crimes stated, "it's not our fault, we were following orders." Granted, what's being done to the YX pilots is not nearly as egregious as my example, however, to us this is a life altering experience. I'm also reading posts regarding Republic contract negotiations which state "we have to get our pay up to industry standards for the good of the profession". You came into MKE, under cut our rates until all the YX Pilots are gone AND NOW YOU WANT A PAY RAISE? WHAT ABOUT US! I don't mean to be inflammatory but actions speak louder than words.

F9 Pilots: You were recently on the bubble concerned about your future. You now have a new lease on life. F9 will be flying YX flights under some bogus code share agreement, further ensuring the end of our careers.

We need a grass roots effort from both Republic and Frontier line pilots. WILL YOU HELP?

I kinda answered in another thread, but yes, we'll help. It seems the F9 pilots expect to see YX pilots on the Master list.

Sure, they'll help by adding you to the bottom of their seniority list. Why else would they be putting SLI talks on hold. They're waiting for every YX pilot to be furloughed. This obviously gives them a lot more leverage if arbitration happens.

In case you haven't noticed, Midwest pilots are the plague. The industry must be rid of this vermin. With our terrible safety record and awful customer service, you had to know we had it coming. Look how many years we spent in Ch. 11! Next time the CEO demands a 50% pay cut, you should roll over and take it in the keyster. Scope clause, Schmope clause,
they'll find some red diaper lawyers to carve it up.
