Id say its an all inclusive deal, pilots, management, etc that comes with the plane, that's what I was referring to.
You wouldn't have to worry about E-Jets at Republic (and CR7s and CR9s at a half-dozen other carriers) hulk-smashing your career expectations if pilots (mainline AND regional alike) could see further than six inches in front of their freaking face... |

Show us the seniority numbers of these ashamed pilots that are forced to replace mainline Midwest. If it's anything higher than the bottom 10% on either seat, that's a pretty big middle finger I'd say. Not that it matters anyways but since you are coming on here defending against the obvious.

I have. They are out there.
From another thread with some editing: All RAH pilots are mean and think they're better than everyone.. My airline is better than your airline. I make more than you. My roommate makes less than me. My pax are more comfortable than yours. My airplane is better than yours. You fly more mainline looking routes than me. Equals => I’m just jealous and scared for my job. Way to go off topic drama queens… keep it up because that’s exactly what management wants. What are you, 12? This new airline legislation should contain a new ATP requirement... maturity. Move on...please...and stop the drama.... |

How dare they!) Before that it was 1900s and JBalls (Regionals flying turbines? How dare they!) There's always something destroying the industry. As Boiler said, it's not the airplanes fault. It goes back to the pilots who DIDN'T want them who started this debacle.

FWIW, the huge blended winglets on the EMB 170/190 series airplanes massively reduce wake vortices. Same on the 737 with winglets.
Not saying one shouldn't be cautious, I have a lot of respect for wakes myself, but the 170 is not really a hazard to safe flight with those big, efficient winglets. |

PS You work for GoJets. There's not larger example of a hypocrite. |

I agree that a 737 is not a "heavy" but will give you a ride. As will an md80. But a 170 10 miles in front of me with a departure of an erj on the same runway in between shouldn't be cause to worry.
And Apc is not where you hear Rah pilots boasting about flying the Midwest flights, that's done while jumpseating to ind and California. I've had a it a couple times already. |
