It was even pulled from the flight ops webpage? Why do that? That page pretty much shows the good and bad for us no matter what, I mean it's not like we're about to go insolvent?

Are we?

As far as I know, the review was completed back in May and reported at the MEC Meeting that month. This is from an update I received from my LEC after the MEC Meeting:

"Republic Air Holdings (RAH) Scope Issue
This is obviously a contentious issue for a majority of our pilots. During the MEC meeting, we had a very detailed briefing from our DALPA legal staff that explained the current scope language and how holding companies, such as RAH, fit into that language. A vigorous debate took place both in Delegate Committee and in plenary session. We accept the fact that RAH, as it is currently structured, does not violate the scope language in the PWA as currently written."

On a flight from Cubi Point to Kadena we got a P-3 going 11 knots backwards.
Same wind, same altitude. Around 170-180 kts headwind. Dropped the flaps and slowed down and actually went backwards.


I landed an AN-2 once with zero forward groundspeed.

In my home gym, I have that poster by Dru Blair of the B1 flying out of the mountains over the water with twin roostertails on the water. Its a fake, but still a cool poster.

Tweet IPs also had to take their instrument checks from the right seat looking cross cockpit. To this day, I'll watch the Capts instruments when I'm the PM, old habits die hard

1150 hours? Pu$$y!! 2300 something in 3 tours, mostly spinning

I have the Dru Blair poster called "Low Level Lightning"...a good depiction of West Texas where I live.



This is fake too...we don't fly 50 ft above the ground, but the system will do 200 ft @ 0.90 Mach. Note the jackrabbit running away in the bottom left corner.

This morning the oil price & D0 stat were both off too, probably just coincidence. Lots of Airline stocks are trading near their 52-week lows now. Once DAL puts out 2Q profit #'s we'll see some happy investors.

Doesn't help that we're the "Second Most Hated Company" in America, even though we are the "World's Most Admired Airline".
