Re: New MKE EMB 190 Base

Republic Airways announces a new EMB 190 crew base will open August 1, 2009 in MKE. It is anticipated that this base will fly Midwest trips only and initially will be 1 and 2 day trips.

The effective date of this bid is September 1, 2009 but we expect to open MKE August 1, 2009 when our first EMB 190 goes into service. We anticipate beginning training for the positions in July.

Please keep in mind that the EMB 190 aircraft may require initial, bridge or other training as required. The initial aircraft will be delivered in a 94 seat configuration and therefore Captains will be paid based on the Captain 79-99 seat rate.

Please do not bid this position if you are unable or unwilling to accept an award!

Tisk tisk so eager to always be the first you never really contemplate the consequences.

First 3 rows 1x1 and the rest are "Forged" Signature Seating?

Look, I understand the excitement, but is it really necessary to post your company info for the masses to see? (A) Not fair to YX pilots (kinda like jabbing them in the teeth. (B) I'm sure most of your RAH comrades can't be happy about it. You must want and encourage the backlash coming down in 3...2...

He's furloughed, so I don't know how he's getting these memos. I don't think he's a fan of RAH or YX

I don't think this is meant to brag about the flying, more informational, I am not sure if he even flies for them?

Well, there goes the argument of being forced to fly mixed trips on Midwest planes... There's actually going to be a bid for it. Enjoy your 99 seat pay...

Well now that we know the seat size, here are JetBlue and Republic rates, side by side. Some people have said Republic's captain pay is higher, but I don't see that anywhere, and since JetBlue doesn't have rates after year 12, I don't think it is realistic to count those. We all know how pitiful the FO rates are.

1st Year Jet Blue CA = $88/hr
1st Year RAH CA___ = $64/hr
1st Year Jet Blue FO = $40/hr
1st Year RAH FO___ = $23/hr
1st Year Jet Blue Total Cockpit = $128/hr
1st Year RAH Total Cockpit______ = $87/hr

4th Year Jet Blue CA = $94/hr
4th Year RAH CA___ = $75/hr
4th Year Jet Blue FO = $58/hr
4th Year RAH FO___ = $37/hr **This is the maximum pay for RAH FO's!
4th Year Jet Blue Total Cockpit = $152/hr
4th Year RAH Total Cockpit______ = $112/hr

Let me even go farther for you
12th Year Jet Blue CA = $110/hr
12th Year RAH CA___ = $96/hr
12th Year Jet Blue FO = $70/hr
12th Year RAH FO___ = $37/hr **still only $37/hr!
12th Year Jet Blue Total Cockpit = $180/hr
12th Year RAH Total Cockpit_____ = $133/hr

Or, an involuntary displacement to the base if not enough people bid it.

The F/O pay needs to come up at least $15/hr and CA's sadly are just under JetBlue, they both need to come up $$$$$$$$$, also JetBlue guys get paid %150 over 82hrs correct? Straight pay rates barely scratch the surface when it comes to W-2's, work rules etc play a huge role on income
