I'd be willing to bet that when you remove labor costs, flying 2 E75s costs just about the same as flying one S80 over the same stage length. About the same number of seats, both premium and economy. Frequency is a bonus.
One MD80 due to its age will likely cost more than 2 new E175 to operate, but you also have to account that AMR will replace the MD80's with A319's and one A319 will 90% of the amount of pax as the 2 E175 at a much lower cost!

It wouldn't surprise me if we signed some deal for more flying next year.

BUT, management is intentionally floating this rumor to get people applying to RAH.

I still can't believe people are coming here. If you are competitive, go to Skywest, who has massive aircraft orders, more cash than the entire market value of RJET, and managers with (some) integrity. Take a look at rjet financials, they've already started prepping to go Ch 11.

We have Seabury and Ford+Harrison on property, the same clowns that are advising Pinnacle right now on tossing their pilot contract... Our situations are quite similar.

Maybe seabury is advising them to keep hiring and giving new hire bonus checks just to keep the training program churning through as much money as possible to make it looks like the company is bleeding cash. Worked for them to get the Pinnacle group into bankruptcy...

Would you mind sharing your totals? I've been applying for a while with not call back.

what happens if they take on extra contracts on top of their current ones and then cant staff them??????

Oh ya they get heavy penalties and will join PNCL in CH11!

I dont know why anyone would go here with a 6 year upgrade and $23/hr first year and mid-high 20s every year after for years, with no CX pay protection!

Go to Skywest you idiots.

It won't be a 6 year upgrade. Raising the retirement age to 65 pretty much froze everyone in place for 5 years. The two year upgrades happening at Republic before the age change will now be about 7 year upgrades. This is pretty close to true at all regionals. That age change hurt everyone more than we realize.
