I fley once as a passenger back when i was in school. Hands down its quieter and much more comfortable than our ATRs. Not to mention the great performance.

ANA i believe is still looking for Q400 guys
Also some1 in india just placed an order for the Q400

Disappointing to see these planes go. I"m sure there is a market in Denver for them.

It is sad sad to see the Q go. I liked it better than the CRJ.

2007 huh, what were you doing before that? A previous post pointed out that our most senior pilots already had a fair amount of prior 121 (and 135) experience.

What will be decided is an unknown but it would not be an injustice if some of the Lynx pilots who choose to go Republic end up in front of you (career expectations). Before you get to upset by my statement remember we are a very small group (125) so it would not be that many, and the likelihood of a fair and equitable integration for the Lynx pilots, glass half empty time, is low.

Posting this again...

"Well, we'd all much rather be flying these 50 and 70 seat jets at a mainline carrier with better pay, work rules, and retirement. Unfortunately though you guys gave away my mainline job when you voted away scope. I can't take your flying, it was given to me even though I didn't want it."

Period

I'll post again. Not completely correct because much of the scope was relaxed through 1113 filings and bankruptcy judge rulings.

Has a schedule been posted as to when furloughs will occur? When is the next round and how many will be affected?

I'm sure you like this idea... You overlook the fact that RAH was involved in the parking of Q's and 717's. This happens while your E-Jet fleet has been growing. Neither the Midwest nor Lynx route structures have gone away. They have been taken over and operated under the Republic system. In addition, this all is happening while other parts of the RAH system are retracting. Already the RAH pilots have achieved a Windfall. They are upgrading and expanding at the expense of other pilot groups. This is why their union doesn't make public statements about the screw job their management performed on the pilots of Lynx or Midwest. The IBT aid and abed the management of RAH in removing pilots and aircraft from the properties and in return they get upgrades and growth. However, I wouldn't expect anything less from a group that has been so taken advantage of by their own management time and time again. RAH pilots complain about how they badly they are treated by their management. Hey Captain Pot meet FO Kettle...
