There are 5 companies to be integrated. It doesn't really seem that wild of an idea that they want to get them all lined up to do at once. I've only been around 121 for a few years but haven't most integrations taken more than 3 months? If so it seems a little unfair to say everyone is dragging their feet.

You also missed the first sentence. The operations of the Company and those of the other air carrier shall be kept separate. Do you consider replacing the 717 with a 170 and a 190 with RAH aircraft and pilots separate. Do you not want that sentence to protect you also someday. What happens when your management decides to try to keep LYNX separate for a long period of time and replace you for half the cost with the 190. Be careful what you guys wish for now because it will be used against you later. Do you guys not see that or you just star struck for the moment.

I took the time to read a good number of the posts on this topic. IMO with five companies and five pilot groups and the reputation of your management unless the pilots start working together you are screwed. What I see here in that respect you are screwed. Good Luck

In regards to the integration, I can understand why you want it done immediately and seperately from the other companies. I also understand why our union wants it all done at the same time. They have chosen the latter and i'll support their decision. Maybe the arbitrator will force IBT's hand and you'll integrate before the others. That would be fine too. We'll see how it plays out.

Alpa legal and our independent legal counsel say it is a violation but some embraer pilot says it's not. I'm going to believe the replacement jet pilot of course.

Whipsawing is a favorite management trick and RAH isn't alone in facing this problem. Sky West kept their groups apart for the same reason, but they proved it works both ways. When ASA negotiated a decent contract, management had to give Sky West a similar one or face a rejuvenated effort to unionize.

Pilots are much better off working together than fighting each other. Even more so when the pilots work for the same management team.

All we are looking for is a fair integration. Only integrating the yx pilots that were online when Republic bought us is wrong. We were in negotiations to fly the EMB 170, we sent check airman to school, we sent ground instructors to school. We lost the subcontracting grievance then everything stopped. Your CEO stated that the EMB 170's were going to be flown by yx pilots. Show us you want to work with us and integrate all yx pilots. I don't care if I'm based in MKE or LGA, Do the right thing.

The one on the right makes up to 37 dollars an hour indefinitely.

The pay will come up. We have to work together to make that happen. It is what it is!

This is meant as a legitimate question-

I hear the Republic group say "the pay will come up" all the time. Just because you say something doesn't make it so.

How long have you been negotiating this new contract? How many MOUs, TA's, or votes have taken place?

I am not trying to sound harsh, but come on guys, you can't just say the words and act like it will magically happen.

The other statement that gripes me is "once we get the older, experienced guys from Midwest and Frontier, then we will be able to use their talents to negotiate a better contract". Just remember that as you negotiate to integrate them into your list.

Not to rehash the past, but you were never going to touch the 170's. Your management along with ours lied to you. It is in our contract that planes owned by RAH can and only will be flown by RAH pilots on the seniority list. It is airtight and our scope protected us in that rounds.
