As far as your CEO is concerned; people call him the Reverend. I assume because he has a religious tone. .

Its time for the big regionals to sit down with U.S. Airways / American, United, and Delta and just all agree that the game is over. Its time to stop playing stupid games and address the issue.
The message is clear. Regional pilots will no longer put up with being treated like apprentices on intern pay playing second fiddle to their mainline masters. Multi million dollar 75 seat aircraft flying 3 hour+ flights and serving international destinations is not puddle jumping. Congratulations guys. You should be proud of yourselves. |

I was apprehensive at first to open the thread and in the back of my mind and heart hoping you guys voted no. Thank you guys for drawing the line and glad to have you on board with us. Great Job.

Well done RAH pilots. Hold your head high, 85% voting No is a job well done. After 7 years of "negotiating" you guys deserved more. Eagle is with you.

BB's response:
Good evening. With the vote results now public, I can share some of my thoughts about recent industry developments without being accused of trying to influence the voting process. Of course, it should go without saying that I am very disappointed in the outcome of the vote, but I sincerely respect the process and the voice of our pilots. I’ll have a few more thoughts about that later in this note, but first I actually would like to chat about the contract rejections at ExpressJet and Envoy. Personally, I was encouraged by the outcome of these votes. Republic had nothing to gain from a “race to the bottom” in pilot collective bargaining agreements within our peer group. If our costs become uncompetitive, then we don’t grow. And if we don’t grow, a vicious cycle of stagnation and decline begins. That isn’t beneficial to any of our stakeholders. I viewed our Tentative Agreement as an investment in our collective future. The return on that investment was a belief that with a successful outcome we would be well positioned, once again, to compete for new flying opportunities and those future returns would help pay for the higher expenses contained in the new TA. However, we also had to understand what would happen if we were wrong, meaning if new growth failed to materialize. Our economic approach had to balance both outcomes, the worst case being our TA passed and yet we failed to win any of the on-going RFP competitions. In short, could we pay for the TA without growth? That was one of the main reasons why we shortened the duration of the TA to four years from five years and added the early opener after year three. Neither side could comfortably foresee the future. As disappointing as the vote outcome was, we cannot lose heart. We have too many families that depend on Republic. Both sides likely will need some down time to recharge their batteries and let the dust clear. Then we will determine the most constructive way to reengage in the process. Reaching a new agreement that is fair to both sides remains our highest priority. Thank you again for your continued professionalism and dedication to service. God bless, Bryan |

God bless, Bryan I wonder if the rev. is employing a political speech writer. This letter has it all, fear, hope, compassion, reconciliation, togetherness, logic, and a seduction to a stockholm syndrome reconsideration. Here is my speech: the fear game is over; time to meet as professionals. |
