Just kinda has me scratching my head about my RAH decision at moment. I love the contract at RAH, but just seems like there are building questions about what’s going on and potentially an overstaffed situation.... welcome to Regionals huh, nothing is for certain I suppose. I think I’m gonna go interview at SW and see how their Kool-aide tastes.��
FWIW, I did the same thing you did and had CJOs from SkyWest, PSA, and RAH. What it came down to for me is the contract, QOL. I am not downplaying the other 2 in any way, and I am super happy for the guys and gals at OO to finally get a better contract, lord knows they've been due, but don't throw RAH out the door yet. I still believe, even with other airline contracts that have come out recently, the uncertainty of the 100 EJets, and the training delays, RAH is still the best company-overall-to work for on the regional level, today.
As far as the whole training delay.. I don't think guys understand how sweet a deal it is. You get your seniority number, pay, and free vacation to do what you'd like. Arguably, I don't see you (or anyone else) getting that much free vacation with pay the rest of our career.
Ultimately you do what is best for you, but don't let the rumor mill from APC affect your view on any airline.
