Republic vs. Express Jet?
I'm about to send my resume to both places. I meet ATP mins and definitely meet their mins. I initially wanted to go to republic to get a shot at the 170 but many people that I know at express are telling me not to. They bring issues such as
-people not being happy (why?, it seems chautauqua is worse than
republic, why when it's the same company?)
- management not honoring their contract (they can't precisely say how)
Anybody can clarify and help me make a decision either way?
Thanks

at chq now....some problems, but what place doesn't have problems? I like it so far, been here 2.5 years. Attrition at XJT is probably faster, but no growth, so once people stop leaving it'll stagnate. All growth here plus 15-30 a month in attrition so you'll move up fast and upgrade at both places right NOW are about the same. Both are good companies....XJT has a couple bucks extra per hour and many work rules are better, but they signed their contract not too long ago and our is under negotiation now, so will get better. Pick where you want to live and apply at a airline with bases there and hope they don't close.

Pick the place that's going to fit into your life the best and run with it. In lieu of that, pick the place that offers you the job first.
P.S. - I'm happy at CHQ. I'm not sure if the widebody drivers are any happier at CHQ Mainline.

did you hear that CAL is so ticked off at CHQ that they are going to sue us for 50 million dollars per late flight, they are going to give XJET triple seven routes, and they are going to tell yo mamma jokes to BB!

On the other hand, RAH is still growing. I heard last that once NW stands up Compass, they are going to sell it off to RAH to complete the codeshare lock. Fits the BB master plan.
