There is NO time to be scared. RAH pilots have been tossed into a Lion's Den & are being forced to realize that you are now Major Airline pilots. BB & RAH have quickly changed you from Regional status to Major status, & many will now stay @ RAH for their career.
You as RAH pilots have a TON of work to do, because pay is not your only worry. You now have to be educated & concerned on things like retirement, work rules, long term disability benefits, etc. No junior manning can no longer be the highlight of your contract. There are a massive amount of things Legacy pilots have in their contracts that most Regional pilots don't even know about. Things like reserve pilots not be allowed to be flown past 85 hours a month, PBS not being allowed to schedule pilots past 80 hours a month, etc.
Lots of stuff to learn, as this may have become many RAH pilot's career airline.
