You forgot pressurized cabins!!!

 

Gee, that's funny because NWA Pilots WANTED the Larger RJs at Mainline, but a Bankruptcy Judge decided they would be better off OUTSOURCED to a cheaper Regional!!!!!!! So whose fault is it?

 

You are right. Unfortunately there are Republic guys/gals who are happy with this. I have flown with them. Fortunately however, there are not many but they are certainly out there. It's pretty depressing when I come across these people. Most of these pilots are so excited about all the short term possibilities that they are blind to the fact that this is hurting them in the long run. People only see the near future, it's unfortunate.

I had a mainline guy (airline irrelevant) the other day tell me he hopes that we get Frontier because it would be great for all of us Republic folks. I was really surprised by this. I respectfully disagreed with him.

As I sit here taking a break from schoolwork to read some posts it reminds me why I am back in school. I can't wait to get out of this industry. It sucks that we have to spend so much money and time to get here to realize it sucks. Call me a debbie downer but it's just my personal opinion. Maybe someday things will turn around but I don't plan on waiting around to find out. Back to the books, goodnight y'all.

 

All the parties responsible for putting NW in a position to have to file BK.

 

Management. They successfully used BK to strip pilots of pay, retirement, work rules, and job protection.

 

Do people get ****ed when the controller says "wind calm", too? The controller said it, who cares? It's not a personal attack against your flying abilities.

I once was scolded by a pilot for not giving an advisory when he departed in his 172 behind a helicopter that departed from mid field while he held in position.

If controllers give the minimum amount of information every time, the frequencies would be full of "wind check" and "how was the braking action?"

 

hey my buddy works for compass. should i be an ass to him for flying the 175?

 

If you dislike the RAH guys so much then why are you accepting a ride on their JS? If I ride a JS with another carrier, I will keep whatever goes on in there in there. I am not defending RAH but if I held a group in that much disdain then I would refrain from begging a ride from them.

 

He was saying he hears your attitude. You guys are undermining the the profession.

The Midwest guys could not strike legally. You guys all know that. You were brought in to undermine their contract... "virtual scabs". I understand you have to fly the trips, but your pilot group is bragging about and protecting the flying taken from another union membership during contract negotiations.

I know Republic pilots can do no wrong. Can you do something right?

 

I'm guessing that with a handle like "EVPilot" and that he's flying CRJ-700's would lead me to believe he is infact an ASA pilot not Republic.
