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.

FWIW, I hope you're not at Republic against your own desires in a decade, either. And I honestly mean that.

I second that, Bedford basically opened the door to the possible demise of the domestic market flown by mainline carriers. I truly hope that this whole venture goes up in smoke, because if it succeeds, 10-15 years from now there will be very few narrows at the majors, and "regional" airlines will be as far as most will go.
I agree. Republic needs to toe the line... JetBlue pay scale for the E190 and the status of our profession will be maintained.

With their labor costs, they'll be stting a tough standard for others to compete with for E-190 flying. Hopefully, the other regionals will continue to raise the bar as they move up to larger aircraft. Longevity will help too. 5 years from now the majority of current RJ captains will still bea their carriers and in the 10-15 scale that should put most close to or even above $100K/year.........and that's good.
They're the trailblazers for the future just as Comair was for the '90's.

DUDE the other REGIONALS are not going to get E190... major airline unions will not change scope language to allow 100 seats aircraft. The deal is...
Republic is buying a National Airline
and they could be flying 777 international next year.

Ya know TD, I tried to ask an honest question in order to understand your reasoning, and had only hoped to get an honest response. I'll not make that mistake again.
FWIW, I hope you're not at Republic against your own desires in a decade, either. And I honestly mean that.
