There isn't anything special about being a RAH pilot. All you get is one of the worst contracts in the industry at a company that's going to have serious financial problems when it can't staff it's flying.
Those 47 AMR aircraft are going to be owned by RAH. Enjoy paying the leases on those when they are parked due to a lack of crews. Your crappy airline is headed down the Mesa chapter 11 path.
While I agree its a crappy regional, those 47 planes will be staffed. If hiring doesn't support the amr flying, BB will gladly let a contract or two go from Chautauqua to staff the 175s. There is a reason all the new chq contracts are only for a year or two.
