Honest question....not trolling..... Has anyone actually met a 175 pilot that acted superior because of this thing? I know I certainly haven't. I'm not sure where all of the superiority complex talk started.

Not enough shine on ANY jet for that if you ask me. |
CRJ200's blow. Have you ever seen a smokin hot girl get on one of those pieces of **** and say "awesome! I love this plane, it's so spacious!" The fact is that no pax is impressed with your piece of **** little plane, they don't care about your trips, QOL, etc. Everyone hates it.

Will these new planes have the mod that makes the pilots voices deeper and their call signs unreadable?

That thing is so shiny, I'm sure guys would line up to fly it for free. May as well, Republic pilots already practically do. By the way, how's that new contract coming along? I hear its just gonna be any day now. :D
I realize you're upset that your company isn't getting these planes but the pilot group at Republic had no control over this. In fact, a lot of guys would rather see a new contract than new airplanes. A large percentage of the pilot group at RAH are now on their second airline (including Eagle, Comair, Pinnacle/Colgan, Airways [Mid-Atlantic] and Midwest) so this isn't their first rodeo when it comes to whipsaw. Its easy to hate RAH but remember there is a difference between the pilot group and the management. |

That's not true. If all planes were equal pay wise I would bid the one that let me live in base or gave me the best seniority. In fact, pay is the only reason I would probably ever bid the 175. If pay were equal then I'd weigh all the other factors like bases, seniority, how good the trips are, etc.
Type of airplane wouldn't even enter my equation. I'd take a king air if it paid the same as a 175, had better trips and let me live in base. Who cares what kind of airplane you fly if you're paid well and live in base getting good trips? |
Its not the size that counts, its how you use it... wait what are we talking about again?

Obviously AMR management has pulled a fast one on you guys. They have signed a CPA with a Brazilian airline to be the new American Eagle. The proof is the Brazilian registration on the first jet. |
