Saw this on page 10C (sports) of this morning's USA Today



Can't help but think it would have been more effective in the Business or News section.

I like the whole, "If you are taking a regional jet on blah, blah, blah."

At least they finally called the plane what it is.

Yes. Completely in the wrong section of the paper. Should've ponied up a few more bucks. Another example of the Teamsters always being a day late and a dollar short...

Of course if we were ALPA, we would have that giant inflatable rat outside HQ. That has about the same effectiveness.

How long before Bedford tries to get a lawsuit against the IBT?

I doubt this will have much of an impact on the flying public, but it should be an eye opener to someone looking for thier first regional airline job.

I wonder if ATP shares this information on their $1,500 Republic interview prep course!

Let me save anybody thinking of doing the interview prep some hard earned coin:

1. Have a pulse
2. Show up to the interview
3. Don't be a douche

Voila! You've earned the right to be treated like trash and get paid pennies! Congrats!

Nothing like spending 10% of your take home pay or 1/3 of the sign on bonus on an interview prep completed by an instructor who has 500 hrs and has never flown anything bigger than a seminole.
