He's not going anywhere. You know how it goes, "bitten once......!"
He likes RAH, I never said he didn't, so he's content with letting it play out. Remember, for the 5 time I've posted this, he has yet to truly complain. I'm making his argument for him in order to educate the new hire who was considering moving from the E-170 class to the CRJ class. My friend's a great guy and a fantastic father.
As for the info, you're telling me you knew the exact situation of your a/c seniority and where you'll be in relationship before you started. WOW, that's amazing; maybe you should go in business supplying pilots with this info. You'd make a killing and would be providing a service that would better our industry by stopping a large majority of pilots from falling into a less than favorable position.
Yes, he knew that the CR2 didn’t have a bright future at RAH (or anywhere else for that matter, doesn’t take a genius to figure this out) and that RAH wanted an all E-series fleet but
he was told they were severely understaffed across the board. Explain to me how an RAH interviewee can gain this knowledge when he has no friends who were currently employed or any other way to gain the needed inside info when your interviewer is supplying less than accurate information. Why would anyone have any reason to not trust the words of their interviewer? You don't make waves when you want a job.
Remember that seniority list (airlines, aircraft and domicile) are not public information.
