Say what you want about the 170, but it's the rj of the future and we've got a lot of them and more coming.
To those saying scheduling is better at RAH, I agree. I'm a year in and continually get 15 days off. 16 next month. 80 block, 86 credit. Results may vary but I'm not doing anything special to make that happen.
Where are you based? Do you commute?
The $40/HR caused the company to go into bankruptcy and renegotiate all of its CPA's with mainline. Raises could happen again, but it's a long and risky scenario for the pilots and is something that the mainline will get tired of dealing with.
They are building up the WO's so they have leverage with companies like RAH that will have trouble staffing at $40/HR and will have to renegotiate CPA's again.
