Could be worse. Could be at a time where we’re getting paid $22/hr with no quality of life, paying for training out of pocket and not getting free beer (which is the best)

Can’t be that CA/FO who always looks at the bad side of everything. Enjoy your job man, it’s better than what 99 percent of Americans have

There’s a difference between complaining all the time and just rolling over and accepting every crappy hotel a company throws at you. Every regional will push hotel costs and other amenities as low as they can until there’s a significant pushback or it hurts retention/hiring. They’d make you sleep on a board in the airplane if they could get away with it.

I thought you guys got something like endeavor with Delta?
Flow was seriously considered with skywest... in conjunction with a SWA express service, operated exclusively by OO. They did say the cultures were compatible.

But that was before the recession, everything got put on hold and never revisited since.

Thats what Im saying. These guys have to be single because no one trying to be near that!

My room was new. The food was good. I was suprised. The draft beer was even better. Indoc was great. Servando is the man. Rest of the crew too. Loving my free ipad and benefits. I was a flight instructor so you guys have no idea. Sound like a bunch of spoiled sheltered mommas boys. Have a good day! I only come on here end of the night. Enjoying life everyday too busy for the peanut gallery. You all complaining have no idea what some people got. Need a reality check. Step into the real world instead of living in that bubble life of yours. Pathetic. My 2 yr old is tougher than you.

They give you a board now? In the airplane? We only had a sheet of newspaper...under the wing! And the wing leaked!

From the sounds of it, I would rather fly with him than you. He’s much more positive.

Back in the day we used to take our rollerboard and put it in the aisle and remove cushions from the seats to lay across and get sleep because the company didn’t give us hotels. Times have changed.

Far from it. I’m a very positive person. I’ve had no issues with anything here, other than the Super 8. Doesn’t help when you tell the owner you have mold, your fridge smells horrendous, your toilet seat is barely hanging on, and your chair is broke, come back weeks later, get the same room with the same issues. It seems the ratio is 2 good rooms to 1 bad room.

Republic is a great company with a lot of great people, lovin’ it here.
