I'd imagine the pilots you work with that rely on getting to work on a RAH owned aircraft will love your brilliant idea on how to change an industry.
You were probrbaly the same guy that said he'd never fly one of those little 50 seat airplanes when they were offered to Mainline carriers 20 years ago. Another great decision then on your part.
Frankly they are adding up, maybe it wouldn't be safe to jump seat on your aircraft.
I'm ALPA and the last time I checked Republic is not. ALPA is not doing enough about this situation but that is fine because I will do my part. Anyway, it doesn't have to be a war now does it? They have to reciprocate the ban. But since that pilot group is full of limp you know what's I doubt anything will happen.
And even if it does so what? There just happens to be a lot of graffiti on the ALPA booklets, magazines and stickers in the crewroom that say "f-Republic" and "Republic scabs" and so forth. I think most get the reality of the situation and will do our best to derail it. So if it means missing your commute for work, so be it.
I hope it's a matter of time before you all get an ugly dose of reality when you start flying the Midwest and Frontier routes. And I hope Southwest eats you up out West. So enjoy it while you can and when it goes south don't come crying here.
