Recalls at RAH
#11
Im sure no... why would they call back someone making 73$ hr when they can call back a republic FO that is jumping for joy to make 23$ hr and go around telling people they fly for mainline.
It is close to the end of what was a nice career 20 years ago, and I think Republic put the final nail in.

You all need to relax. No one is hiring. These recalls will be spread over the next 6 months. According to the agreed timeline (by all unions and company), the SLI will be complete by then.

96 recalls between now and May 2010. Seniority list integration is scheduled to be wrapped up by May 2010, according to a mutual agreement between YX, F9, Lynx, and RAH representatives.

These recall s will not include any Midwest guys? If that is the case, after May some of these guys could be back on the street. I fully expect YX guys who were active at acquisition to be above any furloughed RAH pilot. Regardless we should have more info this week on who this recall affects.

Any open seat at RAH belongs to the Midwest guys until the SLI is achieved. Anything else would be like recalling out of order.

I get it... recall 96 Republic pilots before the integration is complete so the $23/hr (cheap labor) guys are employeed before any of the expensive 25 year Midwest guys are recalled. If everything is handled correctly Republic maybe able to dodge all the expensive guys.
Rev BB is a smart guy and has had the help of Republics EXCO to reduce labor costs.
Word to the wise. BB will target anyone who raises labor* costs. Don't plan on a career at Republic.
* management does not see itself as labor

May is when it will go to binding arbitration. Thats the end of the process. There is no other way this SLI will be complete. Its in all parties best interest to do this very quickly, and that is what has been agreed too. This is not recalling out of order. Midwest guys are not on the list and therefore do not have recall rights yet. The LOA put forward was a good idea minus the DOH. This integration will not be completed using DOH, so why would anyone agree to an LOA based on such? By summer of 2010, the pilots of all the seniority lists can fight this out in the cockpit itself. Wonderful things to look forward too.

That's a flight deck I wouldn't want to be a part of at all. Remember folks, be PROFESSIONAL at all times. No matter your differences, the cockpit is not the time nor place. But i'm sure that statement was made out of emotion and not context.
