The Q is a far better aircraft than the baby EMB. Why are they having a hard time filling classes for the Q?

Appreciate any answers anyone might be able to give?

I'm sure you,ve seen this, but if not, take a look.

RAH Contract NOW! | Teamsters Local 357

The only reason people are going to RAH right now is because they fly the E175. This is evident by the fact that they are struggling to staff the Q400 side.

Don't take the bait. $20,000 commitment for 24 months of poor pay, sub-standard work rules, no cancelation pay etc. There are better options out there.

The for the naive, yes. For those that take a step back and look at the big picture, the Q400 is a maintenance headache, especially when its new to the operator. Given the fact that RAH does not pay for maintenance cancellations, going for the Q may well result in losing out financially when they cancel flights for maintenance reasons.

I never understood SJS, maybe because I have SDS - Shiny Domicile Syndrome. I chose where I went because of the the ability to live in base and actually have a life OUTSIDE of 121 flying. I dont care what I fly - -145s, -175s, Q400, Merlin, 424, 150, etc.

I know one person that went to RAH because they wanted to live in DEN. They didnt care about Q400 or E175, they just wanted to live in base.
