Republic's contract is known to be bad(2), Trans States bad(3), Eagle uncertain future(4), Commutair bad, Horizon stagnant growth/future, Silver bad(5), Great Lakes bad(6), SkyWest not hiring(7). Not too many good choices left except maybe ExpressJet(8), but everyone cannot work there.
1 - It's less than what the airplanes/pilots are worth pay wise but the devil's in the details and work rules. It's been a while for me but I'm thinking it's about the same as the old TSA contract....which sucked equine unmentionables for reserves.
2 - Yes
3 - The old contract was pretty crap-tastic but the new one at least bumped the pay for the torture you got
4 - Thought this was about contracts
5 - Whatchu talkin' bout ese?
6 - Indubitably my good chum!
7 - Damn, I missed my chance! I even had the "Once dated a Mormon girl" card I could have played!
8 - I think "The Barbie and Ken staffed airline" will never stop hiring. Air Wilson is still hiring, along with Pretty Small Airline, and maybe even "ASA"
