At a minimum, 25%+ pilots on the Mesa seniority list would have been terminated from Republic by now for stupid things like going over 4 sick calls in a year, no-showing on reserve, non-revving home after calling in sick, etc..

While I def agree our pay/contract sucks, you guys who started your 121 careers here have no idea how moralistic and punitive the management culture is at almost every other regional in the US.

There's a reason people from other regionals come here and stay for a bit--and it isn't just the upgrade time.

Not saying we'll survive going forward with our current contract and no flow/preferential hiring, but the previous/present HR/management culture have kept a lot of people like myself here for a bit. I hope that doesn't change anytime soon.
