“the midwest product has always produced a rasm premium over competition but at a substantial casm premium as well. Our job was simple – could we buy company and operate it at our costs and we’ve done that. We’ve dismantled everything that was midwest. There is no operating certificate, no unions, no anything. It is a virtual airline providing capacity sourced either through republic with the e-jets or frontier with its a319s. We’ve eliminated the casm problems and hope we retained the rasm premium.”yeah! No more experienced employees making livable wages. Just a bunch of hopeful kids with the foolish idea that after they attempt to crush the rest of the industry with poverty wages and e-jets, they'll be able to somehow get on with a legacy carrier and then bitch about how everybody else who flies an rj is ruining the industry. Welcome to the new "entitlement" generation of pilots.

Why is that so hard to believe? If Midwest MANAGEMENT was so great, how did it end up sold to a competitor and a equity firm? And then thrown away to Republic? If Midwest MANAGEMENT would have run Midwest successfully, you would have little time to blame the Republic pilots for this.
I love how you are all blaming the pilots. It's a playbook that management has that the pilots created for them. Wonder why things never get better? Find a mirror.
My qualifier:
On the flipside, Bedford is no dummy, and Don Burr was the darling of Deregulation. Time will tell for the former.
I pray every day for Republic to be crushed like the cockroach it is! These guys are trying to become the MESA of the 100+ seat market. I hear AirTran is throwing everything they have at these scumbags-trying to put them out of business....
-For the sake of what is left of this industry, I sincerely hope AirTran is successful in crushing these sorry bastards!
