Even if they pay RAH pilots more...?
Even if they pay RAH pilots more money to fly the 190, it is still not acceptable for anyone at a regional to be flying a jet that large.
If management at other airlines see they can undercut their mainline pilots with regional pilots and pay the regional pilots more money, and still save money compared to what they were paying their mainline pilots, RAH will not be the first if they get away with it. This is not acceptable at any pay rate. We will end up with regional contracts with regional work rules, flying for slightly more money. Its not worth it people!!! WAKE UP!!!!

That's just what the flying public wants theses days. Large aircraft being operated by regionals.
The E190 is not a trainer!

It's ok for Republic to operate these only if they pay major wages and bring Midwest guys on property that wish it. I don't see either happening anytime soon, so it's a major bummer.

Pay is only one topic. You have forgotten QOL, work rules, scope etc.... Many of those in which RAH comes no where close to a DAL/SWA/CAL.... Thus PAYRATES mean nothing without the rest of the story.

You better rethink what you just said. Im going to hold you to saying that you think it is ok for Republic to outsource 757 flying to replace other major airlines. Unbelievable.
