Why would you even want to work there? You want to fly an E-190 from MKE-LAX for $23-37/hr?

What a joke.:rolleyes:

Actually, Local 747 union leadership got the arbitrator's ruling on August 4th but didn't want to tell the membership until now.

That's not even the worst part of working here. It almost seems like management wants us to have poor qol. Furthermore, the top dogs of this company go out of their way to belittle their pilots while preaching unrelated Christian religious ethics in company material.

They work us like dogs, treat us like kids, pay us crap and expect us to be Jesus Christ.

Stay away!

I agree with this, but it's a way to get some quick PIC time. The upgrade time was less than 2 years a few years ago.

That ruling can carry some serious consequences since the arbitrator basically said it's a "turbo jet" pay scale and not a per seat pay scale on the FO side. Bedford is now free to put E-195s (or new Airbus deliveries) on the Republic side and not pay the FOs anything more. Sure he'll have to pay the captain's a little more but even if the captain's E-195 wages (or new Airbus deliveries) ended up matching the E-190 wages at B6 (as an example) he'll still have a huge cost advantage on the FO side.

All the more reason the SLI can't be derailed and a for JCBA to negotiated quickly that is closer to the F9 contract.

And that - in a nutshell - is why this industry is in the toilet. Pay me crap wages, it doesn't matter, I get quick PIC time. Sad.

Thats how it always was.

The means of getting to the goal has differed with the times, however the principle remains. At first it was mail runs, then military, then cargo, then commuters; today its the regionals.

This seems to be the normal thinking over on your side. Spewing incorrect information that is so far off it's laughable. Before you give out false advise use the search button and educate yourself.

What do you mean on my side? I'm not employed by F9 or RAH.

What's wrong with wanting to see a JCBA (modeled after F9s) and a SLI? Do you honestly think that staying separate from the RAH side will help you?

If this is true:

Then there is no legal reason why Bedford has to give a raise to RAH FOs since anything larger than a E-190 is still a jet aircraft. Whether that be C-Series, E-195, or new delivery A320s. Why on earth would he give new aircraft to your side when he can give it to the other side, paint Frontier on the side and pass it off as the same thing, just with $37/hour FOs.

If the above statement is true about "all jet aircraft" that is very disturbing. You are of course free to do what you want but if their is still a faction at F9 that wants to remain separate, they do so at their own risk.

So why aren't the Repubic pilots refusing to fly the Q-400 since they have no turboprop payscale?
