^^^^^^^^^^^^

and this is why you guys will never get a contract. The senior guys continually F*ck the process. Look at how many fly right seat at Capt pay rates on days off. This undermines the whole negotiating process. As long as this is going on, BB has no reason to worry, his boys will pick up the slack.
There are some senior guys that get it there, but sadly most can't look past this months mortgage/boat/alimony/child support payment.
If you all would just stop killing yourselves with extra flying, you would cripple that place right now. Your negotiating power has never been stronger.

Nobody likes him and he's burned so many bridges, it's not even funny.

That guy is a POS! I flew with him when when I was on reserve in DEN. We had many guys on furlough and he was picking up FO trips. He does not care about anyone but himself! Number one on my list of potential SCAB if RAH ever strikes.

It's was better when he was just over charging the company as a check airman! He will never leave Republic, and he doesn't realize his greediness is just prolonging any CBA. Many of the S5 captains are lifers, but none are even remotely close to E.S.! I hear he gets positive spaced from home routinely, because he loves to help out the company.

1. about 80% of the attrition is the bottom of the list
not that accurate, I'm in the middle of the total list and move up pretty regularly. More CA's leave than you think.

2. a massive displacement is expected soon with the parking of the Q's and 145's
it's not that massive. I sit 40 or so from the left seat of a 170, 30 from the 145. If they displaced everyone tomorrow they would lose about 40 guys from just saying screw it, and it would basically by them 9 months before they would be in big trouble. Not to mention the sim space for such a training even just doesn't exist.

3. If you left for TSA or PSA you would upgrade in less than a year and hold a line.
Not buying that, the money I would lose in the long run isn't close to being worth chasing the left seat and being furlough fodder in the near future.

4. we haven't even hit summer yet and RAH is cancelling 25% just due to lack of crews
we don't cancel 25% of our flights, maybe 25% of the total cancellations are crew related. Still way too high.

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
they have stopped back filling the 145, EWR has been getting bypassed pretty regularly. This year should get through the 2008 hires.


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
to each his own, I have more than enough RJ training events and FO time to place bottom chaser.

It doesn't matter how many leave senior to you, you f they can't attract new hires. What are we negative now anyways? Maybe the company will form a committee to investigate this, I'm sure plenty of our pilots will volunteer to help out

That is a good point.

ThreeStripe, look for the girl in the blue dress standing in front of the EICAS.

It is hard to tell that it's Robin Meade...not the best picture of her.
