"Judge Lasnik ruled against issuing an emergency preliminary injunction against the company’s action of paying bonuses to new-hire pilots – and the court left it to the system board, and ultimately an arbitrator, to decide on an expedited basis."
Company wins for now, that won't happen any time soon.

On the plus side, the case wasn't dismissed entirely, and the bonuses clearly aren't working, since we cancelled a bunch of upgrades and had a recent class of 10 turn into 3 or 4, one of whom bailed once the check cleared.

Brad and Ali will probably release some announcement saying due to the pilot shortage and inability to attract FOs, the company has decided to give all future jet deliveries to SkyWest until we can properly staff the airline, this will position us for growth blah blah blah. They will blame the pilots for not giving them what they want, and the cycle will continue.

I left a regional after 2 weeks simply because I didn't like it there and got hired elsewhere. A year later I apply for Republic and didn't get invited because I left the previous after 2 weeks.
So now I know that some airlines might not consider me and was thinking to remove it from my resume since there is no PRIA record.
It is not my way but if there is no record...
No issues getting hired with other regionals. I haven't applied yet for a major but after reading I am a little concerned.
What would you do?
