Flew into Mke today

Flew into milwaukee today.....we followed one of those Republic planes in. It was a 170 and the moron in tower gave us a wake turbulence advisory. We were in a crj!

I feel sick flying in there. It's carnage! Like watching someone get raped right in front of you. If I come across a REAL Midwest pilot...drinks on me. Republic guys......forget it.

Thread closed in 3..........2.............1.........

Did I really just read a Skywest FO bagging on RAH pilots?

I'm willing to bet that the guys flying 737s feel the same about you. Flying a CRJ, you're every bit as guilty, as you're doing flying that no doubt belonged to a mainline guy at one time or another. Sad, but very true.

Indeed you did. I suspect some guys just haven't been around in the industry long enough to fully understand how things work. Could you imagine having to sit next to this newbie for a 4-day trip? OY!

Probably a Skyway guy or 2 that still isn't all that happy with you taking their flying in MKE. Looks like it has come full circle. How does it feel? Welcome to the industry.

Most of us have flown a RJ (or saab/1900) and understand you have to build your experience someplace. The difference is some Republic pilots are bragging about gaining flying from another union pilot group... "it's our flying now". Republic pilots are licking their lips hope they purchase Frontier so they can flying a A320 and make real airline pilot wages.

If you want real airline wages improve your contract or interview with a real airline.

I understand the first persons posting. Republic is different type of pilot group. They are undermining our profession, but cannot see that they are only hurting themself long term.

Yawn........

The funny thing is, you were probably following him in a CRJ900.

If you want real airline pay interview at Midwest, Frontier, JetBlue, Delta...

I have yet to hear a RAH guy bragging about anything. I most certainly have not seen any RAH "licking thier lips" either.

For a guy claiming to fly an MD80, you're making strange bedfellows defending a guy with a picture of a modified CRJ900/B727 as his profile pic.
