Isn't that for Brickyard?

You are correct sir. We are one big happy family now!

Nope. It's for Mesa. :p :D

I say TransStates

Just paid less...

Paint job doesn't look terrible; still pretty ugly.

Shiny! So who is going to fly all those E-jets when they already have a hard time filling new-hire classes?

Good question!!

i donno but thats some sick under wing jet time to be bad right there

Yeah and anyone who's anyone knows you need under wing time to get into a major! They won't touch ya without it

It's got autothrottles, guys! They are superior pilots over at brickyard. We all know this.. They arrive in IND for groundschool in limos and get treated to a red carpet entry at the training center. You haven't heard? THEY ARE ELITE. :cool:

Shiney.Jet.Syndrome...

Funny how at US Airways Express Republic is viewed as superior. DCI Compass is and I am sure Shuttle/ soon to be Skywest is for UAX. Everyone I have talked to who flies one doesn't have any complex BUT lets be honest if everything was the same pay wise etc. people would bid the 175 all day long. It's just a nice airplane compared to others. Sooo..... You jelly Brah? :D

Nothing regional about that jet... Just think of all the jobs at mainline that could have produced.

.....and its best performance number is $78/hour.

Impressive. ;)

Ze omgz! Like iz so pretty!

Let me turn my resignation letter in now so I can go fly for the real eagle at republic.

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

Eagle E-175!
 

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.

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?

I have. He would rip on crj-200's for being so small.

And CRJ 200 pilots would rip on his paycheck for being too small.

Eagle E-175!
 

I guess there are a few in every crowd.

For many E-145 pilots, that thing is a widebody A-380.......under wing engines, slats and sitting way up there. The thought of flying it is almost orgasmic. Having ridden in both the back and jumpseat, it's still an RJ, although the back is better than smaller Embraers and CRJ's. The jumpseat is murder. The pay and working conditions of the pilots I've ridden with we're abysmal and virtually all of them talked about their next move out of it. The fun and glamour of a new plane wears off quickly and sooner or later, you're left with pay and working conditions........usually sooner. L-Eagle may get these or more likely CRJ-900's, but considering the future pay and heinous PBS parameters, flying them for 20-25% less then present pay and being jerked all over the place scheduling wise makes for a depressing final stop to ones career, especially if you're in your golden years (50's) and what was supposed to have been your most financially profitable turns out to be the years way behind you.

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?

Let me get this straight, you are ripping on a pilot group that turned down a company offer which included higher pay rates than yours because they said it wasn't enough? The same group that overwhelmingly voted to strike to make things better? Republic pilots are trying to get things fixed and right now the Captains get paid just about the same as Eagle's rates and top out higher. Its just the FO pay and work rules that are abysmal. Guess what? The RAH pilot group has no control over the actions of the NMB.

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.

The etc. meant everything equal. Base, QOL. We all know the stuff your spouting off, doesn't change the fact that the CRJ200 is a Turd rocket. ( nothing to do with size)

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.

The perspective I would like to add here is that size does count, actually. If you are actively looking to move on to a job overseas, like Emirates or Air Japan, the recruiters have a weight qualifier on the experience they are looking for. Oddly, the difference in CRJ200 and the E145 is important when applying for Ar Japan through PARC. And Emirates wold really like to see 30 tones. E145 time is worthless for these places.

With that said, I still would not be moved to accept less money and QOL just to fly them. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

If the management is so bad why would you choose to work there and then complain about it? Where you work is your choice.

Please take this conversation elsewhere.

Considering only about 10% of the airline jobs that exist have good management (that's probably a stretch too). Don't see how its possible for us all to work at a "good" company. Are you completely satisfied with the wages you are paid to work at a regional? You better not complain because "where you work is your choice". Besides I wasn't complaining about anything just trying to give an education to someone who doesn't understand that a pilot group is not responsible for the actions of its management.

The hating comments are hilarious. Dealing with a bunch of immature kids who will be first in line to bid to fly it when they get them. Grow up kids.

OMG!! sarcasm

Get out much? You're being serious, aren't you? ALL the planes come off a Brazilian line with a Brazilian registration number!! Do some research first! Every 170/175 we fly has come to the states without an N number.

Most CRJ200 pilots are paid better than the Ejet pilots. I don't know why people make such a big deal about the Ejets and higher pay. It's an airplane with 76 seats just like the CRJ900. It even has the same engines just mountain under the wing for the "cool" guys

You do realize that airplane manufacturers use registration numbers in the country because the airplane must still be functioned but it hasn't been issued an air worthiness certificate and it doesn't belong to an American Airlines so it can't have an N registration. When RAH takes custody of said airframe then they will file to register it in the US and the tail number will change.

You guys actually think like this lol My jet is bigger than your jet!!! Civilian pilots :D

I agree. It is embarrassing.
