I don't think anyone here will disagree with you there. Give the MEC a chance first. There's a lot on the table that needs to be handled delicately.

Dude... Republic is not a National Airline. It's a regional with no reservations, no advertising, no market share, $37/hr FO's, and aircraft painted in another airlines colors. Bedford has alway worked on control costs... Nice job. Let's see if he can sell an airline ticket.

I understand, you guys are stepping up in the airline industry and need to weigh decisions that could effect our profession.

My guess is he is including per diem and working his ass off. His base pay is $33,300. That is maxed out unless he upgrades. We should make enough that we should not have to pick up extra time just to get by.

That's quite the accusation to throw around when you have no clue. I've never picked up a trip since the day we furloughed. I only did twice before that considering I'm a commuter.

Who says we don't have work rules? I flew 916hrs last year but was paid for over 1020hrs and that's before I cashed in sick time.

That's about the extent of your work rules. I'm not sure how you guys are getting so much time other than working like *****s and cashing in PDO's.
