Most likely any new upstart would be considerably cheaper then RAH. Our junior captains are on year 8 pay, but of course our FOs lower our overall cost. I don't see how they could start up a new regional from scratch in this environment though.

It wouldn't be starting from scratch. The CHQ certificate is still valid along with all the training and operating manuals. It also has EMB 135's through EMB190's on the certificate.

There's no way they could get cheaper. Work Rules suck and healthcare if crazy high. No way he could make you guys cheaper.
I remember a guy I was flying with that left Piedmont. He told me that he had to get out of Piedmont because he was embarrassed telling people what kinda of plane he flew.
I just said, "What's more important, telling someone the plane you fly or telling someone how much money you make?"
He's still an FO at RAH and could've been a Captain at PDT now and be in a much better position in terms of his career and definitely when it comes to money in his pocket.
Oh well

The problem would be getting the FAA required management positions filled. Doesn't seem very career enhancing.

Looks like the 145s are staying for awhile. New vacancy shows 10 E145 CA and 16 FOs. I assume the FOs will be new hires, but knowing this place anything could happen. FYI the 145 has horrible schedules and as an FO you will make more on the 170s.

I think this vacancy is about retention and recruitment and not just keeping the left seat staffed. I just flew with a 2012 hire that was leaving to go fly charter. We will probably see 75 pilots leave this month, but only 1/3 will be from the left seat. The company has to stop the attrition from the FOs or we will be in serious trouble.
