*trolls republic forums to get pilots cuz our ‘wait’ is too long*

 

feb1st ctp with crj class the next week at OO.

 

I interviewed at RPA last week. Got the phone call yesterday that I was offered the position and that the soonest class date is October.

Just wanted to confirm for prospective applicants looking that it is indeed backing up for upgrades.

 

So you respond to me by being dramatic, so screw it I’ll be a little dramatic as well.

So just to make sure we are on the same page, instead of going to OO to live in base in DFW, I should go to Envoy or Mesa (ALPA)? Looks like their union has done great things for them. Remind me again what their pay scales and work rules look like?

Or maybe I should commute to GoJet, CommuteAir, TSA, PSA, Piedmont...etc. Those companies Unions have totally done great things for their contracts. Or maybe I should commute or move to fly for republic or endeavor, I’m sure that will be great for my QOL given their contract. Living in NY or some crap outstation would be fantastic.

But hey, its OO not having a union that is dragging everyone down.

Look, do I support OO becoming unionized, yes I do, but to dump on OO as “bringing everyone down” while they just put through a contract that is better than a majority of regionals while overlooking multiple unionized regionals with crappy contracts is ridiculous. Why don’t you get on your fellow unionized carriers for not bringing up the bar? It honestly is more detrimental to your cause than OO not having one.

 

Don't worry "insert 4 letter word here that rhymes with cab," you and the rest of the Skywest kool aid drinkers have the rest of us who support and pay union dues to thanks for your nice little raise you just got. Without other unions pushing the pay envelope, you would still be under that 1% raise per year contract you idiots voted in back in 2017, undercutting the rest of the industry.

 

Applied about a week ago with a referral and received an email back for a phone screening in February and that due to the number of first officers hired in 2018 and part of 2019, the next open class dates as of now wont be until Q4.

 

Gotcha buddy sorry about the mix up

 

That’s a ways out if you already have the time I’d go somewhere else

 

That's cute, remind me again which picket line I'm crossing?
I'm not against unions, nor am I against OO getting a union, but you just made my point.

I don't know if you've ever been through a strike or walked a picket, but I have. I'm wondering if you even know what that word means.
