Why respond?
I find this latest interest in Midex Airlines from supposedly outsiders kind of interesting.
For the record, I was sitting in this meeting you all are suppose to know everything about and I can tell you not ONE crewmember said anything when the President of Midex Airlines announced the new duty schedule. Nor did anyone say anything when he opened the floor up for questions or suggestions about the new duty schedule or any other rumor.
Also, for the record, instead of furloughing half of the A300 Crew force and putting them on the streets (like one of the bottom feeders you compare Midex too), the President choose to change the schedule to 10 weeks on and 3 weeks off and keep them on the payroll.
This may not be the greatest situation for everyone but at least they are not unemployed.
