Dude you WILL be there for the next decade, and it will be in the right seat. Like it or not, that is what republic has turned into, a wanna be POS LCC.

Here's what I don't understand. (and maybe someone besides doilet tuck could reply) How can rah keep all current rah pilots, f9, and midwest guys. From what I see, they are shooting themselves in the foot with contracts, and those will die off. When they do, huge surplus of guys on the list.

BTW, I don't look down at rah pilots. td is one very vocal annoying voice that nobody takes serious.

It's unlikely that they will be able to keep all of the pilots from all three airlines. Assuming the RAH pilots don't cave on their contract, and they demand integration of all three pilot groups, strictly looking at the staffing numbers at both Midwest and Frontier, a single list under the RAH staffing rules will require less crews per frame on average. Not to mention the fact that right off the bat the 717's are going away, and I've yet to see whether or not they will replace the ones on property only, or the entire original fleet, which would leave out the Midwest furloughs depending on integration guidelines.

Yeah, its going to be messy no matter what. Hopefully midwest guys don't get too screwed. I guess the ONLY good that can come of this is getting a great contract, but I don't really see that happening.

Yes, it is a serious question. Not many go to regionals planning to spend the rest of their career there, but life has a funny way of happening to people when it comes to their wants. Major terrorist attacks, major economic downturns, your airline buying a whole bunch of Airbusses...all can influence one's career path.

A decade from now, where do you want to be? If not RAH, where?

And the follow-up: a decade from now, where do you think you'll be?

Just saw that Dos Equis commercial and it's possibly one of the funniest commercials I've ever seen

Well you said yourself life has a funny way of happening. That works both ways from where someone is to where they plan on going. I don't know very many that came to the regionals wanting to stay but the industry keeps taking turns. Where I'm wanting to be will depend on the state of the industry at that time however I'm pretty sure it isn't in the right seat of an ERJ making $45k.
