Republic Year 3 Cpt Scale is 96 (so still a 11.50/hr pay increase). The starting F/O pay scale would revert to 64.00/hr, RPA starting pay is currently 46 (so a 18.00/hr pay increase).



They also get their $187,000.00 in bonuses (compared to YX 11,000.00) and commuter hotels (which YX offers no commuter benefits). They also get fully paid training, unlike YX’s 1000.00 pay for month 1. But YX has no junior manning. YX has but doesn't implement/use airport ready reserve.



There is NO REASON (except for living in base) to even work at Republic right now. Hopefully for the pilot group, YX Mgmt comes to the table with the check book, or the new hire classes are going to get smaller and with 100-200 leaving per month for LCC/ULCC/Mainline your monthly lines are going to be built at 90+ hrs per month and you'll be down to 13-ish days off per month.



Good Luck!

I can only hope that every other regional matches the pay or incentives the mainline partners to absorb the regionals. This was a last ditch effort, a Hail Mary of sorts to try and save the regional model. Only time will tell what happens to the regional model in 2-3 years.



It is frustrating to see everyone have some sort of TA come out, but those that actually work here know what’s going. I’m staying patient, flying my line, and waiting for a TA. I will either enjoy the new contract or watch the next generation of RPA pilots enjoy it. Either way, the union is aware of the situation and working towards a solution.

Wouldn’t that be pretty difficult, since they have LIFT to fill seats with the contract most sign?

Why should the company offer commuter hotels? Doesn't BB preach you choose to commute in the gospel of Heller?

Yeah, he sure went far.
