As a CHQ guy I would be happy to go picket with the Midwest guys if it comes to it. There needs to be communication between the two pilot groups if we want to do anything. ALPA and the IBT need to put down their differences and really work together on this.
A few things I see over here from the majority of our pilots:
1. We don't want to take mainline jobs and put our mainline brothers and sisters on the street. We realize that these are good "career" type jobs that many of us would like to have at some point and it will not better our careers.
2. We don't want other people flying our planes. We fought tooth and nail for that scope and its gonna be a poo storm if it gets messed with.
3. Both Unions were notified of this the same day of the press release so they are getting everything sorted out before making any comments.
4. We want all our furloughs back flying. (See #1 though)
5. Similar to #1 but we don't want to be used as a whipsaw against higher paid Midwest guys.
6. We think this will give us more leverage during our contract negotiations.
Other than that I don't know but don't label our pilot group.
