CHQ drops 9 US AIR 145s...Adds 10 145s to DL
 

Summary of REPUBLIC AIRWAYS HOLDINGS INC - Yahoo! Finance

Short term contract, but interesting that delta keeps pushing for more chq flying.

Its like the pilots who fly these planes don't even have any loyalty to the brand that they're operating under.

Really too bad for their passengers. I'd want to be riding on a plane where the people working on it cared about their product.

So the pilots made this decision?

pilots dont decide in feed contracts, pilots dont decide on quality of product.
if the pax's get there alive, the pilot did his job. the rest is managements responsibility not the pilots.

lolwut is being very sarcastic

That may or may not be true but I commute regularly on a chq product and I can honestly say that between commuting and a lot of deadheading I can say that I rarely if ever see such lack of pride in product that I see on chq. If I paid for that flight Id be a lot more unhappy than I am. If you're that ashamed of your company thenyou should quit.

I am not sure I am being paid enough to care if the passengers get there alive, at this point if I make it home alive that is good enough..... ( there is still some ever fleeting and Belgian beer enabled sarcasam there)

You have about summed up my reason for never returning to the airlines! I could give a crap about passengers anymore! What did it for me was some woman exclaiming "thanks for not crashing" as she deplaned! This was after a very bumpy approach and a greased crosswind landing!

If I don't go home alive then I have failed! I could give a flying s@@t about the 50 people who have some complaint about how they just defied the laws of physics and arrived at their destination in 1/4 of the time had they driven in a crazy snow storm!

Posts like these make me laugh. I see the exact same attitude from all regional carriers. Its the business we are in. Why would any regional crew have pride in the "product"? Its only about getting from point A to B. Thats all a regional is supposed to do.

Suggested response: "'Not Crashing' is all you paid for." :p

So if she had stroked your ego and said "Nice landing Captain!(regardless of how many stripes on your shoulder) Those were challenging conditions! What was the crosswind component?" , then you'd still be with us?:rolleyes:

If there is any hiccup in a flight the AWAC captain comes out of the cockpit and states that "He can no longer live with his shame". He then performs Seppuku or ritual Japanese suicide right there by the galley. Two cuts to the abdomine and one to the throat. The FO then decapitates him with the crash ax. That is some pride.....

I'm glad I don't have any.!

I thought Delta was trying to reduce the number of 50 seaters?

They are. But 9E eventually losing all of their -200 puts them under their quota by a few.

Some of the Comair guys i've met here at my company need to read this. :cool:

that was funny! great!

I think about this often flying for a regional. I wish I could display more pride in my company but being discouraged to even say the name of your regional airline really puts in perspective what the regional airlines are. We are United Express, Delta Connection, etc.... It doesn't even feel like a company. It feels like an independent contractor.

I'm guessing...JUST a guess...that it was that situation that made him stop giving a sh-t about passengers beyond getting them to their destination safely.

Exactly. I've had too many conversations with the flying public who are complain that $400 to fly from DC to Chicago for the weekend is highway robbery. When confronted with the suggestion to drive, the response is usually a combination/variation of "I don't want to drive all day Friday and Monday", "Gas is too expensive", and "I can't afford a hotel". So you want to fly halfway across the country in a sixth of the time it would take to drive...but you don't want to pay a penny more for that value added service? Welcome to Wal-Mart's America: Where everybody knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I dont get it.....if you hate your job so bad, why dont you just quit. Mcdonald's is hiring.

Attitudes like, "i dont care as long as i dont die" do not deserve to be in this profession. Perhaps it is those attitudes that have caused the quality of life and pay to go down.

Think about it, if you were a boss and your employee was constantly whining and complaining, would you give a sh!t about them???

This is a two way street guys......

You don't mention which company this is.

You do know that us Comair guys probably didn't quit... we were fired by Delta for being too expensive.
