The Republic pilots don't think it's a crying shame. They're excited about it. What are the NWA pilots and Delta pilots doing about this? Absolutely nothing. Nobody cares until it affects himself/herself. I'm truly sorry for you guys, but I guarantee the majority of pilots in this industry could care less if Midwest goes out of business.

Are you RAH? If you are, then you are the only RAH pilot who doesn't think this is a crying shame. If you are not, you should not open your mouth on subjects on which you have no knowledge.

So what is being said within the MEH pilot group? Is there any way to fight this? Is there talk of shutting the place down?

I remember the whole oven thing with the CRJ. Are there ovens in the 170's? Timmy's Mrs. has to ring home the bacon since he took that BIG pay cut.

Just curious.

14 pilots per aircraft. Seems like alot of pilots per aircraft. Especially for an airline that has never really had high aircraft utilization rates.

Goes well with 88 seats in a 717. Sorry, 99. Timmay was hot on it to fix that problem, 28 airplanes later.


I said to Rankin back in 2003 or 4 during some PIC class that we need more seats. But what does a stupid regional punk know. Guess dumping 28 airplanes was a better idea. My bad.
