republic is being very aggresive in aquiring new flying but to call it the new mesa is crap. Our pay is equal to every one elses---except mesa's its alot better than that. We dont have junior manning, have more guranteed days off, have block or better, and properly staff an airline enough to allow it to run reliably. Yeah we are getting more flying while others are losing theirs but its not additional, its replacement flying to cover what we lost with F9.
