if you live in base that's fine.
but I still get all the emails from the union and talk with a bunch of pilots there..
1. about 80% of the attrition is the bottom of the list
2. a massive displacement is expected soon with the parking of the Q's and 145's
3. If you left for TSA or PSA you would upgrade in less than a year and hold a line.
4. we haven't even hit summer yet and RAH is cancelling 25% just due to lack of crews
5. How many pilots are bypassing the 145 for the 170, last I heard it was around 70 which would push back upgrade even further
Even for the sake of the contract...it is so unbearably bad that at TSA I'm on pace to make almost double what I did on 3rd year pay and am sitting Left seat.
Good luck but IMO,staying there for in base is fine but 100 numbers isn't good enough to stay

All that said, guys who come on here and say "If you're not willing to jump to another regional it's business as usual" are, in fact, far out of touch with how bad it's actually gotten here in the past months. I have not had a 2-4 day trip that hasn't been reassigned multiple times since December. So I bid my day trips and take MIL orders whenever I can to keep myself sane.

6 days into March and we were already down 43 pilots. no urgency from the company to increase meetings with our NC. Eagle offering 200% and hotels for commuters and RAH wont even offer time and a half. One reserve for 80 captains in one base. Cant do anything to your schedule with Flica because every single request gets denied. Not one word from bedford. Its unbelievable. Very interesting times ahead

agreed. its too bad because its a catch 22, some FOs have to pick up opentime(straight pay, 150 or 200%) so they can survive. i used to only pick up the 8hr dfw turns before i realized it was helping the company a whole lot more than me losing a day off for less than $200 after taxes. simply not worth it. if everyone stopped picking up opetime we wouldnt get 200%....we'd have a ta.

We basically can blame all this crap on PHL CA E.S.. This guy is a piece of work and doesn't give a crap about the pilot group. He's currently working across the country on the west coast, helping out the company as much as he can. There's a reason he'll never get hired anyplace else. Nobody likes him and he's burned so many bridges, it's not even funny.

Lulz, how long you been at Rah? You realize how long Bedford and Co have played you?! Fixed overnight! Unrealistic expectations? I wonder if you have any clue how royally you are getting screwed.
FOs at Republic are hosed, better to have been shutdown, forces you to move on to another company. But no, this limping along, upgrade right around the corner.... If and when you finally upgrade you peers will be new hire with the majors. And if you are lucky enough to get hired it will be at the end of the line, the remainder of your career spent on the backside of the wave. Open your eyes, the decisions you made now are going to stay with you.

Unfortunately we have MANY captains picking up open time. VERY unfortunate.

You are right; I hear this sort of thing often. They tell it as if they're justified because they "worked out a deal".
