The Rah Guys Better Like The E190
 

For many reasons, RAH and the E190 is not going to go down well. Maybe those guys better get comfy cos moving on to a major might just get a little harder.


:eek:

You don't get it do you? RAH is becoming a larger airline. The legacy models and pay are decreasing and dwindling.

Where was the outcry when Comair started taking MY Delta flying in the 1990's? Look where it has gone frrom there.

The Regional pay and aircraft are the new normal.

Instead of wondering if a RAH guy might not get hired by your legacy carrier - you should be concerned more with keeping your job, pay and benefits that are overpriced by today's market.

Peter - I'm afraid I have some very bad news, your wife's gonna be a vegetable. You're gonna have to bathe her, feed her, and care for her for the rest of your life.
Guy - OH MY GOD!
Peter - No no no, I'm just kiddin. She's dead.

What were you flying at DAL at the time? A 70 seater???
Did CMR's CVG 50 seaters cost you your job?

We all have to make choices. If I were a regional guy at RAH and hoped to move to a major, I would avoid the 190 like the plague. Career suicide!

Is it possible for all Republic pilots to boycott bidding for the 190. Some serious solidarity is needed here.

Don't put this on Republic. NWA/Delta ALPA changed your contract scope language to leave Midwest and Midwest pilots out to dry.


You built this bed... sleep in it!

no, it is not possible for us to boycott the 190. we have a payscale for up to 99 seats (i agree it blows). our local has been locked out and taken over by teamsters national. there is nothing in our current contract that will allow us to refuse to fly these aircraft. dont blame the pilots. i came to RAH to hopefully be based at home in MCO, or where I was born and raised (FLL) flying 37 and 50 seat aircraft. FLL closed before i was out of indoc and MCO before my first year was over. I want a better contract, we are working on it, but bashing our OLD contract which was signed when we were a fraction the size we are today is pointless. It is what it is and those of us that are here at RAH are stuck with it (for now).

Instead of worrying about who to blame, it would be nice to see a group or several step up to the plate and do what's right...You said "Don't put this on Republic" It is ON Republic whether they like it or not. It is on all of us. Look in the mirror and ask yourself where you draw the line.

Wow. That is the rationale a scab uses when he crosses a picket line. I'm speechless.

Comair and ASA didn't steal anyone's pension, so why don't we just put this argument to bed once and for all.
