BB did an end runaround the NC last week and presented the companies LBFO directly to IBT national. As much as I'd like to be optimistic, negotiations here are done. The NMB mediator basically sided with the company and sent the NC home to consider the final offer.

Maybe they have not budged on things because they know something we don't... Repeal of 1500 hour rule?

They probably won't repeal the 1500 hour rule, but the airline is pushing for an FAA-approved credit for quality of training rule that would go even further than what is already in place. The FAA already has that in place but if Republic and the RAA think they can go even beyond that, then they could hire more pilots and not have to improve the current contract. Some aplicants will go almost anywhere so long as they can fly jets and kickstart their airline career.

Is DEN-IAH one of Republics flight for united? Its a later flight (about 10pm and getting into IAH around 1am). I have been seeing a lot of these flights in our open time (XJT).

I'm sorry, I don't know that :/
I don't work for them, I was just saying something that has been open to the public.

Maybe the NMB has finally told BB enough is enough. It is an election year.

It looks like that's an express jet operated flight. I believe we fly primarily Q-400 flights out of Denver. Shuttle America used to do a small handful of flights but I honestly have no clue if they still do.

I didn't realize Shuttle did ORD-EWR. I was under the impression that the UAL pilot contract did not allow hub to hub flying by regionals.
