This right here!! ^^^ Look at any of the numerous threads to see what Republic has done over the years. Guy I talked to quit after the "kids spend your money wisely" memo from BB. Dude in his million dollar mansion telling his pilots to maybe not upsize their value meal so they will have more money in the future.
I don't know what will happen with your new contract. But I am guessing that a management company that took 8 years to get a new contract and blames everything on the 1500 rule, already has figured out how they will exploit the new loopholes and wrote them in there for a reason. No skin in the game, but if it was me I wouldn't expect BB to change the way he has been for all these years and all of a sudden treat you guys with respect. Time will tell.
