RAH has a long term goal, they are about the only regional with a plan it seems. Goodluck to the republic pilots, if it all works out ever RJ pilot will wish he/she would have gone to RAH.

Sad. I had a gate agent tell me we could only take 1 jumpseater the other day. I laughed and looked at the 4 pilots trying to get to work and said I am not leaving without yall.

Gate agents... Ahh don't get me started

While I don't entirely disagree with your arguement, we both know this statement is going to raise blood-pressures. I just hope that with all of the growth in the RAH "family," they have some major leverage to ensure a substancial new contract. Doubtful, but I'm hopeful for the sake of the industry.

Imagine having gotten a job their in 2004 flying one of their something like 20 erj 140s they had and 5 years later making near 100k flying a 100 seat plane, they could end up being the next jetblue.

$100k for 100 seats! What a joke! I don't usually pipe up on these forums, but jet blue captains are making a lot more than 100K a year on the 190. We have plenty of captains at my airline flying 50 seaters making 100k a year. And there are plenty making more than that. Sorry, but its annoying to me to see people say that they would be happy making mediocor wages flying these airplanes!
