I hate ALPA, but I think they would handle this situation a little better than the Republic pilots' union is handling it. The actions of the Republic pilots speak louder than words.
I tried to keep my mouth shut, but it's keyboard commados like you that break my silence. You worked for RAH right? You voted for the 2003 contract right? If not, you signed it and worked under it's rules. If you're so knowledgable about this situation, then you of all people should know about Article 21 of our contract. It's been quoted on page 2 of this thread. Take a look at it. Remind yourself of the crap contract you negotiated years ago at your stepping stone while on your freakin high horse. The union is following the contract and getting new rates under said article under a specific timeline. It should take about 9 months. So Hockeypilot, before you continue to talk trash, I implore you to look in the mirror and ask yourself who is responsible for what is happening to RAH pilots right now.
