LIsten up, like others said, nobody stole any flying. If you have that mentality, then you would have to say Express Jet stole the Delta flying in LAX.

First of off. From who? ASA did so poorly in their 2 months there, that Delta went to a higher paid pilot group. And if RAH didn't take our flying for CAL we would never have been able to even "take" LAX.

BTW, just because you’re paid well doesn't mean that legacies role over and give you flying. If you actually believe this then how does Mesa get flying?

LOL! ....................... Wow, what ignorance?

Dude, you're getting killed on here!

Y'all ever seen that video of some landshark trying to catch a wave right in the middle of a surf contest when the local surf hero Kainoa catches him and gives him a beating? Thats what this thread is starting to remind me of. Enjoy......

Lower paid? Where? Performance for CAL was worse than XJT for the same reason XJT hasn't been profitable lately... Because it was startup and with initial startups there are always issues to be ironed out. The B gates at continental are a good example.

Call it what you want but RAH has a few things going for them. Excellent CEO business wise, good business practices, and a good pilot group. We'll keep working on the contract but while I want it good I don't want it to be so good that other companies can't afford to pay us and we start losing flying either. RAH is about as stable as they come on the regional level.
