Well since our FO's max out at $44/hr, I'm confident it would be raised to the $50's, which is still low, but a lot higher than the $37/hr that an FO makes at RAH. I mean come on!! XJET FO's are at $37/hr on their 3rd year, flying a 50-seater and it still goes up another $7. I think XJET's wages are low, but unless RAH raises the bar we are stuck.

Please name a time in the past when we could since you know when we could?

I got something better. How about the Midwest pilots agree to the paycut and take all of Republics flying? Because I guarantee you that is what this will come to.

I vote for Christian Bale to help our negotiators! Just have him go off on Seabury like he did on that lighting director.
YouTube - christian bale rant
standing back doing nothing is just sitting back while the rest of your jobs are outsourced. Strike or not, something has to be done. Put the breaks on, there are other ways to make your point other than to strike. I really hope the midwest guys figure out someway to put the breaks on this. Good luck guys.

This is reason number 343 about why SCOPE is SO important!!

I know a couple Republic pilots and it would kill them to know they were replacing mainline jobs. What are they going to do? Quit? They, just like most pilots at RAH and every other regional, are just using RAH as a stepping stone to build time and move on.
Theres the rub. "Move on" ,Move on to what? There will soon be no better place to be than where you are. I hope you can make the best of what you have now. Think about how it will be retiring from your regional airline at 65.
The good jobs are disappearing fast.

like i said, it doesnt have to be a strike to get things noticed. They cant arrest everyone if they decide to get the swine flu around the same time Just saying...

Its either DO nothing and watch the rest of the jobs get flushed or do SOMETHING while they still can.

Worked for the NWA guys on the work rules when they were flying 90hr lines.
