This is the first offer (while far from perfect) that actually raises the amount of MONEY you can make as a first officer. I am happy that you get to flow to American, but that is a smoke screen that allows companies to keep wages low and get applicants in the door. The first sign that things really are changing is when wages go up, not when I have a "promised" job somewhere, someday.
And as far as your 175's go, let's see you get the 145's going before we move along to that. I'm hearing very different things about your jet program...
But didn't the pilots that signed up for republic do the same thing???? Nice new jets everyone!!!! Come fly them for bull crap rates and a crappy contract! Fast upgrades!!!! Only till things slowed down was when everyone starting to cry. You guys are your own worst enemies right???? It's the same crap different story!! Every regional. Your carrot is rotten.
Don't know where your getting our 145 info but it's coming along nicely and new hire classes are full!!
