I missed this before, but again...not even close to the same thing. The RAH pilots prevented this from happening back in 2003, which is largely the reason for our inferior contract.

The logical fallacy of comparing airframe payrates negotiated in 2008 & 2009 with those done in 2003 is pretty silly...

OR you can keep gettign larger and larger planes, replacing the smaller planes, and stay in that right seat forever.

You pick

I think the days of regional pilots moving to the mainline is coming to a end... we will be lucky if 50% of regional pilots make it to the mainline. Regionals are going to control alot of the flying in the United States and that means you have to stop thinking that the mainline job is the end game.

Times are changing... fight for a living wage.

ps. in the next 5+ years don't count on a 2-3 year upgrade

Please, tell us all what your standard of SCAB is if something other than a picket-crosser.

Here's my point.

We all know TPG/Delta is trying to start a 100 seat regional at Midwest with industry breaking crew costs and a Delta code share agreement.

1. If you fly E170 for Midwest you are undercutting the Midwest pilots.

2. If you fly E190 for Midwest with industry breaking crew costs you are undercutting our profession.

I understand you have to fly the trips assigned to you, but Republic Teamsters are in contract negotiations and you don't have to agree to industry breaking crew costs. (that's where the SCAB part comes in)

Republic pilots are in a key position to determine the future of our profession.
