Please tell me I am wrong with these figures. (I got em from APC). Or at least Republic has better rates coming. Please prove me wrong.!!

Jetblue pilots had the opportunity to negotiate a CBA based on the Embraer 190.

Republic has a CBA that was based on a 145, modified to quickly accomodate the 170, and modified again to accomodate the 175. Those modifications, while horrible on the FO side, are actually pretty well above the industry standard in those seats.

We are due (and its on the table) a new CBA, to reflect not only the 145, 170/175/190 AND Airbus, but also reflect the changes in company size and growth.

Trust me, we're due for some major pay increases and major QOL increases. Any tool who thinks we shouldn't walk off the job to get what we deserve, needs a reality check with a Midwest pilot. Bedford and company have spent the last year proving how much money they have...now its OUR turn to collect some pay dirt.
