I'm sure it was in a memo somewhere but I wouldn't believe it enough to post it. Honestly I don't know but there is at least one already in paint and they are more readily available since they are coming from CAL.

Sad part is those planes were once flying for a company that has one of the best contracts in the industry, and now flying for one of the worst. Now the higher paid pilots are on furlough and RAH is soaking it up. Tisk tisk...

Yeah, your $2/ hour higher pay difference really raises the bar.

Thanks for being the beacon shining in the dark.

Again, you work for a regional. That's like saying your hooking up with the hot fat chick. It's still a fat chick.

You you're right, It's just $2 dollars, It's just no cancellation pay, It's just 75% deadhead pay, It's just no duty n trip rigs, It's just no trip touching, It's just...

Anything else you want to add to that, go right ahead.

Oh and you know, fat chicks need lovin' too.

I'm still waiting for the Republic guys to voice their support for the Midex pilots. I bet you Republic pilots have no desire to fly on Midwest routes in airplanes that you know Midwest pilots should be flying.

Dear Edwin~

What regional out there is not flying current mainline routes or routes that were once mainline routes? Please answer. With whom do you work for Edwin? And what routes "should Midwest pilots be flying"? Midwest pilots will become Republic pilots and until we get our contract fixed to where it should be, they'll be flying the 190 for subpar pay. Bad now? You betcha. Will we fix it? Sure will. We won't screw up like Mesa just did by signing in their horrible new TA. I wonder if any of you Internet wonders know the reason why we "gave in" and have the contract we have today. The all FO payscale (regardless of airframe) was signed and agreed upon to avoid managements goal of 2 (or 3) seniority lists and using us against each other like eGOJET did. We will fix this.

Yeah, but just imagine their pleasant surprise when it's not a Crj.

PS: it's an ugly color on any airplane. Worst pain scheme in aviation, just an opinion.
