RAH breakdown
 

Could someone be so kind to break down what aircraft and which certificate are based at the different domiciles? Thanks.

awww man when i read the title of this thread i thought it was going to be a story of somebody at RAH completely losing it and going on a rampage. what a fakeout

All in due time..

give it a few months and then BB is going to go see an occupational hypnotherapist and start blowing off work, not showing up on saturdays and playing tetris in his cubicle. He might even go over and ask out that girl that works at that place with all the flare!

i don't know, i think someone up high at Republic has gone batty.

190s, anyone?

they seem to think that someone will give on scope allowing a "regional" to fly 100 seat planes

Outside of POPA who seems to think we're getting 190s?

Everyone that doesn't work here ;)

YEAH!!! lets fly 30 more people for an extra buck and hour....YEAH!!!

"i love lamp"

hey get your facts straight, its 3 more bucks and hour! jk :) its the american way!!!!!

BB himself.

went to one of the town hall meetings in STL and got to listen to him say that. just before the MX guys jumped all over him and his cohort about the crap they're forcing on the MX crews.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but I did a search and found nothing. RAH recently dropped their minimums to 800TT/100 multi/100 instrument...previously 1000TT. It's published on their website. Just an FYI for those of you interested...

He was asked about it in CMH and said no. Said the company's focus was to get 170/175s on CAL property.

it wasn't so much a "we need to get these things on property by Xmas."

it was mentioned as part of the 5 year plan. where in the plan, i have no clue, but i bet they start trying in the next 24 months

IIRC, it was something along the lines of "Do you see us flying the 190 in the future?" The response was yes from BB. Training in STL is kinda fuzzy anyway from all the extra credit work.

Please God stop bringing up the 170/175 for CAL. It ain't gonna happen...and that's a good thing. People make fun of their first year pay....but they're scope clause is worth twice that amount because at least people have jobs there.

I'm not enforcing it. Just stating was BB said.

I know, but everytime I hear it I wanna cringe. He's a smart guy...but this will never happen. It's a pipe dream. If the CAL pilot group gave up their scope, I would submit an application just to call them retards in the interview and walk out.

Hang on a second,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh man, that was good, I need it that today! Does Bedford still tell people that he speaks to God? What a fruit cake that guy is.

Hum.....lets see, if he prays, that would be speaking to God. Are you inferring that those who pray are fruit cakes?

hes just making a reference to the fact that BB is a "born again" after him and his cronies WH and JC(insert d*****bag here) got in a little trouble up at Mesaba a few years ago. Yeah i didnt hear about it until after I got a job here at RAH, if I would have known, i would have stayed at Transmistakes or applied at SKywest!

I really wish you would remove your lips from BBs teet and quite drinking that Kool-Aid!

Are you saying that had you known BB was a born again christian you wouldnt have gone to work there? And if so why?

No! no! No! I myself share the same faith as BB! What I am saying is that BB got himself into some hot water with his previous company, and some believe that to rebound his own reputation, he became a "born again" christian, and i think its one of the key ingredients in the whole RAH Kool-Aid punch.

i think his attitude makes it a bit of a better company. his take care of our guests and each other at the end of every newsletter might be a load of bull$h!t but at least its better than some companies actively saying we want our expirenced (and higher paid) pilots to leave.

Okey dokey no religion please ;-) We don't need a Jihad here!

i really wish i wouldnt have to fly with pilots who dip in the flight deck. i mean that spit cup is so appealing and all and it smells great, but you know... :D

i dont chew in the cockpit and for that reason! I usually leave it for the hotel or my recliner in front of my xBox

Actually, I believe that his daughter having leukemia/recovering from it was the impetus for his religious views. How does it affect you?

hey scary, when you were in gradschool at transstates you didn't happen to leave a whole lot of grizzly stickers under yoke plates did ya?

if so, you're a bad bad man....where the heck am i gonna put the tata pictures?

no that wasnt me! but that is a great idea!

I have never heard that and if its true so I'm very sorry for making any crazy accusations. I have had illness in my family adn I have lost a sibling so I know that life sometimes deals you a crap hand and "big guys upstairs" (insert three letter word for deity here) works in mysterious ways. I can sympathize with anyone else in the same situation.

All i am saying is, talk the talk, walk the walk! A lot of the mood over here is "God Bless" this, "thank you for your hard work" this "your doing a really good job" this blah blah blah, and then when it comes time to negotiate a new contract, get a raise on the 170, use electronic trip trade, get a PDO, or talk about the grey ares in our CBA the door slams right in our face!

The company wants to act all big and bad like they treat their people well, but the pilots and flight attendants here still get shafted. It could be worse at other places and for the most part here everyone gets along but this company caters to its "children of the corn" up in Indianapolis. Case in point. Eveyone up at HQ in Indianoplace gets a paid vacation day for the day AFTER thanksgiving. and then when the flight crews and mechanics asked for it to be a paid holiday, they pretty much told us to "f" off! dubya tee eff! over!

Hey Scary, just wondering how long you have been at RAH?

not long enough!, but it feels like forever!

Mentally, he's been at CHQ ever since we started training at TSA. :D

that feels about like 20 years!

so....still waiting for an answer...... just trying to get an idea how quickly you have been jaded.....LOL

The jading process begins when you try to arrange travel between training events. They start us early. Out of sight, out of mind seems to be the treatment. The place has its issues, but its probably the best bet of any regional to grow and change right now.

Well thats good.... every company ( both aviation related and non aviation related ) I have ever worked for has had issues......

yeah yeah, will agree with that, its got some issues but all in all its a good company to work for. There are a lot of things that anger me and my main beef lately has been my schedule, its too long of a story but anyways its very bizzare, inefficient, and just bass ackwards. But all in all i am happy here, but i do feel that there is a lot of room for improvement in labor relations, especially when one of our little "circle of stars" motto is "create a culture of fun and learning", getting bypassed, sitting on the ground for 3 hours twice a day in CVG, getting fired (saab guys in 01), getting harrassing calls from scheduling at midnight before a 3 AM reserve time, so on and so on, does not sound like fun and learning to me. College was fun and learning!

To answer your question hercdriver I have been at chautauqua a little over 7 months now and I was at at TSA for a about 7 months as well. I dont have a lot of "experience" in the airline industry, but I have done a lot of homework, and research about the "industry" since spring of 03 after i got my Instrument rating and decided to become a "career pilot" SO yes I am in young in the industry but if you look at most of my posts I am usually pretty humble in my opionion and I dont talk a lot of smack, most of what i say is just some sarcastic quip, the only time i really "b*** & moan" is when I have had a bad day, and I dont have too many of those, but if i can channel some frustration through an internet forum with much more "b****ing and moaning" than i do, its better than taking it out on my friends and family!

I know am young and I wasnt around for 9/11, never been furloughed or taken a pay cut, but I have expererienced a lot in my short 24 years and I know the value of hard work and the basic difference between right and wrong, and I came here (RAH) in search of a company that stood out among the regionals in their management/labor relations, you'll desire that after TSA. and yes things are good here, but I feel i expected a little more, i havent been shafted personally but I know of others that have, especially the saab guys back in 01. But i think the company has done, is doing, and will continue to do some pretty shady moves in order to keep the stock price high and all the share holders happy.
I know thats the way of the industry and maybe i am just disappointed in this big business capitalist economy country and the direction it is headed in.

I wouldnt say i'm jaded, i love my job and i enjoy going to work. I just want to work less!
