However I wouldn't put Republic in the GoJets category yet because if the pilots are able to negotiate a minimum of JetBlue payrates for the 190, then the other payrates will have to increase as well making everything all better once again. As a furloughed pilot I too am hoping that things pick up within a year or maybe less but I'm not holding my breath. Good luck Whacker77 in what you decide to do as well as to everyone else who is struggling!
Hold the phone and wait to negotiate, JetBlue is changing their rates this week. Maybe they can hold off and get more?????
