Let me get this straight, you are ripping on a pilot group that turned down a company offer which included higher pay rates than yours because they said it wasn't enough? The same group that overwhelmingly voted to strike to make things better? Republic pilots are trying to get things fixed and right now the Captains get paid just about the same as Eagle's rates and top out higher. Its just the FO pay and work rules that are abysmal. Guess what? The RAH pilot group has no control over the actions of the NMB.

I realize you're upset that your company isn't getting these planes but the pilot group at Republic had no control over this. In fact, a lot of guys would rather see a new contract than new airplanes. A large percentage of the pilot group at RAH are now on their second airline (including Eagle, Comair, Pinnacle/Colgan, Airways [Mid-Atlantic] and Midwest) so this isn't their first rodeo when it comes to whipsaw. Its easy to hate RAH but remember there is a difference between the pilot group and the management.
