While I agree that a positive attitude goes a long way, I have a friend currently seeking employment and I had to have a long talk with him about whether I'd come here to work or not.

-Current business plan was based on $80/bbl oil and president stated he didn't know what we'd do if oil topped $100. Now its forecast to exceed that for the rest of the year!

-Our interest to income ratio is 1.0, meaning 100% of our past year's income is required to just make the interest payments on our current loans! And, we're looking to finance more 190's. Can anyone say "overleveraged?!"

-Management continues to try to manage our pilots and employees by poking them with sticks, all while preaching that we've got to treat our employees like guests.

-Morale amongst pilots is at an all time low.

-$36.62/hr indefinitely with health insurance going up every year = smaller paycheck every January.

Basically, I have REAL doubts that RAH will survive without a bankruptcy in its future. So I'd think long and hard about applying here and being on the bottom of a list that has a very good chance of furloughing in the future.

There, anyone considering this place can't say you haven't been warned.

On the positive side, the people you work with are great. If you come on here and things turn for the positive, you'll be working for the only regional where you can eventually upgrade to a "major," might take your whole career, but the opportunity might be there, if they survive.

And the jets are nice and shiney!
