Right now they are still hiring for all 3 cert.'s and supposedly going to announce new flying toward the end of the month. There are better regionals, like skywest/expressjet, but if you live in base and get the days off you want it's not that bad. Try Pt. 135 on-demand freight for a year as a comparison as a lot of people complaining on here have never worked anywhere else. If you want someone to blame, try the Union. Going on 6 years and still nothing to show..regardless of how the company is negotiating.
I do understand the frustration, I have worked elsewhere so I do know what it's like outside this company. I'm also as upset at the lack of progress from the union when they could be using tactics like the American Union did to get their contract. However my ultimate reason for the post was to warn people from coming here when they could go to other regionals that are hiring with better pay, work rules and QOL.
It's too late for guys like us who may be getting better trips and have a small amount of seniority but if we can warn others which would make it better for them and harder for our comany to hire then maybe we too could finally get a better contract and raise the bar.

Even if you live in base, our RSV rules make quality of life terrible.
EXACTLY!!!! Thank you!!
