What stations did they outsource to Eagle? hahe, usually it the other way around. They have been really screwing the AA ramp and gate. They have been laying those people off to have Eagle come in and do the job for less.

They'll happily bid, not one backfill. They're all scabs in my eyes.

So much for "we're in negotiations for payrates". D'oh.

For the 79-99 seat airframe, the RAH captain rates are above the concessionary ARW B146 rates in year 3 longevity and beyond. I think given the climate of regional airline pilot negotiations in 2003, they did the very best they could do (and edging out the concessionary ARW rates for comparable-sized airplanes was pretty good during that time IMO).

Of course, the single FO rate regardless of airframe size leaves much to be desired and lags ARW FO rates on the CL65 and B146 by a fair margin.

Nobody said jack about ARW flying the 88-100 seat B146 for "peanuts" from 2003 to when the airplanes went away Easter 2006...but now the chorus rises when oft-hated Republic gets similar sized airplanes.

I'm not saying the pay for these kinds of airplanes shouldn't be higher, but geez people...get some perspective.

Agree with you partially. However, ARW'S work rules blow RAH's out of the water, and offer MUCH more equity to its pilot group. Rigs, cancellation pay, and the lack of a PBS system allows ARW pilots to make much more than the standard "multiply your hourly wage by 1,000" formula. Being able to trip-touch 7 days of primary vacation into 18 consecutive days off and pick up several four-days for 150% pay is certainly better than anything PBS can offer. Even ARW crews deserve more, too!
