Its time for ALL of us to be paid what we deserve. We do the same job, time to pay up.

As much as id like to see a new and great cba, its never going to happen. Bedford and co. will shut the place down before paying us what we are worth. The truth is that the demise of rah and bedford is a great thing for the industry. It will be painful for myself and many pilots trying unsuccessfully to leave. Rah is finished. The only question is how long will it take.

The company IS being completely unreasonable by not even entertaining the idea of negotiating any backpay. In this environment??? They aren't in control anymore and they are crying like little b!tches because of it.

It's good to see that it is working.
Bedford needs to be thrown out on his ass and RAH headquarters needs a good housecleaning so the hard-working crews that hold RAH together can finally not be ashamed to tell people where they work...and can earn enough to pay their bills.

If I may add: with greed comes stupidity; BB needs to resign or be shown the door. He is a big baby.

This is the company's way of negotiating. Don't let it spook you.
What else would you expect them to do? Divide and rule isn't exactly a new concept. United we stand.
I saw the union email (still have a lot of friends stuck at RAH). Read it and take it to heart.
At the Aerocrewsolutions job fair, about a week ago, exactly 3 out of 200+ were there for the regionals. I'm betting none of them were for Republic. I know one guy went to Envoy because he lives in Dallas.
Trust the NC.
