While Republic voted no... There current contract is the worst of the worst. And is still way worse then any of the concessionary deals. And I'll be surprised if they even get close to a Envoy type deal.

Before that though, I believe anyone could have smelled the teen spirit on you.

Crews are human and simply make very poor decisions outside the sim sometimes. Some people are good operators and not great aviators or situational managers. Those things will never change and you can't always catch them. Then what?

Their agenda during 1549 congressional testimony was transparent and obvious, and they used their notoriety to try to influence scope under the guise of safety.
I support moving all branded flying to mainline, I don't support exploiting tragedy and lying about the regionals to do it.

Obviously I'm a huge proponent of the 1500hr rule but I'm just saying... at UND we're already stretched on instructors and that's with tons of people sticking around to 1000. If people were in and out of here any faster there would be literally nobody left to instruct or at least the capacity of students would go way down. That's not just bad for producing more American pilots but that would also put lots of strain on foreign carriers who train here as well.
If they raised compensation across the board to attract new people to become pilots, it would take at least 3 years for those new pilots to get through the system.
An interesting quandary for sure.
