I believe this is common knowledge on the line at Republic.
Less than 40 went to the Big 3? Out of a pilot group that’s 2000+ strong?
This confirms my hunch. It’s not that I spoke to all 30,000 mainline pilots and none came from RAH, just the the ones I’ve spoken to didn’t come from RAH. Actually, I know of an AA pilot who flew for Chautauqua, but he got hired about a decade ago? I’m referring to more recent numbers.
Again, I don’t want to come off like I’m insulting the pilot group. That’s not my intention. I just wanted some info on the matter is all.
