Republic: We are Borg. Resistance is futile.

This isn't a very good analogy. The Borg "assimilated those that they took over. The Borg did not waste the valuable life forms encountered. The Borg did not kick people to the curb. The Borg did not hire unskilled, inexperienced Borgs to run The Mother Ship.

Really...you're analogy is an insult to anything related to Star Trek.
 
Seriously...a lot of experienced, good people are out of a job because of Republic Management and every Republic Employees who support and enable these job actions by simply showing their face at work.

  • Bank loans company money to operate.
  • Company goes out of business because of failure of business plan.
  • Bank owns assets.

Don't get mad at the employees of the bank. (We had nothing to do with the lending or the failure of said company's business plan.)
Get mad at the CEO of the company that couldn't sell his product and service. Period.
 
the problem with the article is that it mentions the furloughs but fails to say that the lost jobs are being replaced with cheaper/less exp. labor flying the same routes ala Republic (no diff. than a manufacturing job going to chinola or mexico). If this were addressed the general public reading this article would have a better understanding of the Midwest pilot/employee struggle.
 
yup, there should be an article about how pilots that have been with the co. for 10-15 plus years are being offed so a bunch of 20 year olds who've been there less than 4.

crashpad, you point the finger at the wrong group. Half the fella's at repub probably hate this crap.

point it at the recession

point it at the competition thats going in there with their $39 fares to cut midwest's head off

point it at the fact that midwest was too weak of an airline to survive all this anyway. name one all business-class type airline thats still even around or doing well right now?
