Expressjet (EV) has just as good of a contract as Endeavor (9E) from the looks of it.

This is the moment you make a bad argument, THEN get proven wrong only to dig a deeper hole. I’m no fan of RAH tactics either but damn! Foot meet mouth.

On the upgrade side, I just talked to a EWR FO who has a buddy who is now upgraded and he did it in 2.6 years.
Not technically correct but close. The SSP which was the old program is concluding and has somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-60% overall pass rate (lifetime). It was 55% alone from 2017. This program will be done in next 3 months. The new program with the guaranteed interview (DGI) has not started yet so any speculation on pass rate is just that. Many have said that they believe the success rate will be better when the DGI, but yet to be determined.

Candidates are allowed to apply off the street if they wish and it does not impact the guaranteed interview unless they are interviewed ots.

Don't forget that 9E's me too clause prevents any other carrier from obtaining better career progression than what is in place. No one else will get anything better.

But you're right in that it's still Delta, and you still have to earn it. Coming to 9E just means you'll get your chance.

If RAH didn't have a history of such poor relations with employees I think people willingly returning the ipad would not be an issue. That said it's still not right to keep it.

I can understand his frustration. When I left they were already handing out the new iPads to new hires. Offered to pay the rate specified in the CBA and was told they didn’t have a way to collect it yet. Was also told they would be offering them to HQ employees via lottery if they had more iPads than pilots who wanted to purchase them. So you know DM probably scored herself a $50 iPad to go along with the “circle of stars” award 😂.

At Xjet we can buy out our surface tablets when we separate. Skywest IT simply wipes out all their stuff and then it's yours.

what I'm frustrated about, and what continues to frustrate me, is how people at RAH somehow have the most insane cases of Stockholm Syndrome I've ever seen. It's not a great company. It's not a great place to work. It never was, and never will be. It's Republic. It's a misery, soul sucking place that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I want someone who currently works there to explain to me why you think it's so great.

It’s not the best place in the world. It’s not mainline. It’s not a career airline. But 15 months in and I’ve had a great experience so far - bases I expected/wanted, great schedules, great maintenance, great travel benefits. I understand this place screwed over thousands over the years, but I’m grateful for the work that many have put in to make it a better place to work.

I’m not a cool aid drinker by any means - in fact I jokingly get made fun of by friends about how much I complain, but I’ll tell you one thing, this job is light years better than my last 135 gig, and light years better than my gig before that.

With that being said, was hoping for 9E or better rates with the recent LOA.

Dude relax. You wouldn’t wish it on your worst enemy? I know a lot of people who, like me, are pretty happy being here. Yeah it sucked prior to the 2015 contract but it’s a very different experience now. Move on with your life man.
