Assuming the whole evening's schedule isn't delayed some unpredictable amount after a sports event runs over.Usually when that happens I change channels and completely ignore that network's programming for the evening, as I did this week.

That should be VERY interesting!!! I have a fondness for Republic anyway because I'm in US Airways country and wouldn't mind flying an Embraer someday! Thanks for the heads up!I remember the one with Hooter's CEO, it was interesting but I can't stand those restaurants (demeaning) though the view is nice...

Republic pilots have done some pretty demeaning things themselves.

Thanks for the heads up Cesar. I'll probably DVR it so I can watch after the Sunday night football game is over.

LOL, I saw the Hooters one and they had a jerk manager working at one of the locations that made it seem worse than it really is. My ex-wife and an ex-girl friend of mine both worked at Hooters here in the Dallas area and its not really that bad, at least that's what they told me. Granted they had a few guys once in a while that would try some cheesy pickup lines on them, but the management wasn't that bad at the time they were there.

Every time they fly.

Err. No. Haven't we all as professional pilots? Anyway, demeaning would be somewhere like Mesa or the like. Yikes. Let's get it right!

Mesa is lousy but those guys haven't done anything half as bad as what those Republic guys did to the Midwest pilots.

It's an ugly business. A CYA business at that.

What does that even mean? I don't think you have any idea what we are talking about here. The pilots of Republic willingly cooperated with management to allow them to lay off the entire Midwest Airlines and performed the work as replacements under that name.

Anyone got a link discussing the Republic/Midwest ordeal? Not sure why I'm having such a hard time researching this. Google is not my friend today.

Did you try wikipedia?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwest_AirlinesOr maybe an old USAtoday article when the idea first surfaced?http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2008-09-04-midwest-republic_N.htmAnother article:http://www.ainonline.com/news/single-news-page/article/arbitrator-rules-against-midwest-airlines-pilots-19513/And you can probably search any pilot forum on this topic and find plenty of threads.

Very good, that'll give me some good evening reading. I'm using my iPhone right now, and for some reason my onscreen keyboard is being goofy on search engines. Thanks for the links.
