I don't post much....mostly read....but I think that what every RAH basher has to say is hilarious. It seems like its mostly guys from companies that took concessionary contracts to get new airplanes. RAH has secured new aircraft without having to sign a crappy contract....

For other pilots to call RAH "bottom feeders" is bullspit. Have you ever thought that these wholly owned only get new airplanes is because they know that's the only way your company will survive? I mean honestly...do what daddy says right? "Clean the garage son or you don't get the car for the weekend"...clean the garage and you get to go out with Mary whatever her name is....Point being Mary might be ugly as heck, but you're lucky to have a date and a car to get you there....

There is no point in arguing which regional to go to...because in my eyes they all suck. You just got to pick a place where you think your QOL will be the best. Go to one that you think will stay afloat 5 years out and put your time in. Thats IF you can get to the majors.People come to this industry thinking they will get out and make $200,00.Which is a far cry from the truth.

As far as flow through i think thats a myth. Dangle the carrot as they say...if in fact thats what you go there for...are you sure you want to work for the company thats flowing through? Seems like taking a crappy TA because of "flow through" or "preferential hiring" is putting all your eggs in one basket.

My point to all this is that nobody knows the best regional to go to. Its all about timing. With that being said...regional airlines suck....all of them. I have heard guys from PSA, Compass, RAH, Expressjet, Skywest....they all complain. So there should be no more "bottom feeders", guys that take "concessions", or this and that. We are all in the same industry and we can't make it better by arguing about who is the biggest turd in the toilet. we are all in there and we all stink. Put your time in. Stay afloat and hopefully get flushed to a major.

"I'm Out"

 

Those concessionary contracts are still way better then what we have.
Not defending the cowards at psa, pdt, endeavor, and envoy. Our contract is just that bad.

 

Way better! And the TA that was presented that RAH turned down wasn't even close to the concessionary contracts of the 3 cowards.

 

Internet fight lol

 

My crappy regional is better than your crappy regional

 

To the OP. You better listen to Silly Ho on this one. He/She is actually right this time. NOW if RAH would have voted down all 3 of those contracts ( and they would have ) what's that tell you about us getting a contract ratified anytime soon.....hmmmmm.

The poor reputation we have here at BB's workhouse is not entirely undeserved. For well over 10 years, we've been the hammer used to tear down other decent regional contracts. We enjoyed enormous growth at the expense of all the better paying carriers. I don't bother with the silly Internet battles, but I don't pretend that we didn't do enormous damage to the industry ourselves. Our CBA set the low standard in the industry.
I shudder to think of what the next POS TA the worthless IBT tries to shove down our throats is going to look like. The concessionary contracts at Envoy, PSA, and Express Jet are still lightyears ahead of anything we can dream of at RAH.

 

Well I did work at RAH, and still have many friends there. The only way RAH works for a pilot is if you live in base, and take a second job.

 

..and are in your early 20s and can handle the circadian rhythm violations of their ridiculous outstation schedules.

 

LOL! so your saying when you got the first E-Jets your contract at that time was industrial leading?? hahahahahahaha

RAH was able to secure new aircraft because they contract was already crappy. You can't really be that dumb can you????? I think it's best that you keep reading instead of posting.

LOL and go back and pick up your mic
