But he's been trained to ATP standards FROM THE RIGHT SEAT! Come on, the instructor has to be Chuck Norris reincarnated...if Chuck Norris could die.

The public would say "Good thing we're not flying with republic holdings! Chautauqua/Shuttle America is a much better airline!" *facepalm*

But hey, If I spend $1500 for the interview they'll see that I really, really want the job!

On another note, I remember when Republic first started up and some of the new FAs were referring to the 170s as Republic "mainline"........it sure doesn't pay that way....

Fixed that for you.

To this day, I still give my friends there a hard time about "the widebody".

Excellent website. Good job Teamsters! I like the ad in the Marketplace section of the USA Today as well.

Yep I remember that too...was trying to be nice . Was really funny when some of the new hire FAs were upset because CHQ FAs were coming over and bumping them down the list. I still remember one FA whining that this was Republic "mainline" and that shouldn't happen.......oh the young and clueless...

Well apparently those negative Nancies haven't been to Cleared To Dream > Home yet. That'll straighten them out!

Also, I get the feeling the pax could care less, because 1) they will think if RAH is so bad, quit and 2) increased pilot pay means more $$ per ticket. Oh and 3) pilots just sit there watching the autopilot, what a gravy job.

Also, the website needs to be more bullet points and pictures, or else you've lost your average audience in ten seconds anyways...

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing public pressure affecting union negotiations. As long as the majority of the traveling public can get to Disney once a year they'll be happy.

I think the tactic of spreading the news to potential new hires has more effectiveness. If RAH can't staff their upcoming growth they're going to have issues.
