Twice has a brickyard FO with gelled up hair and his sunglasses in his epaulets said to me while I rode "his" jumpseat, "you should totally come over here. On second year pay and it ain't bad dude.. 170 time is going to be gold in a few years".... Middle of the flight he starts explaining how autothrottles work.. I'm just shutting my eyes and this 14 year exCHQ CA is shaking his head... Fun times.

Anyone who jumps to republic at the expense of eagle pilots will forever be looked down upon by me.

What are you going to do look at every Grey, Blue, and Red badge and check out their hire date? YGBSM. Get off your high horse and give up the "you are all wrecking the industry behind me for taking a job at xxxx regional". That mentality to me is the same as the main line guys giving me crap because we "stole" HIS flying. Get out of here. Some people have to start somewhere and do I want them at RAH? Not really, but, some people gotta do what they gotta do to make it in this messed up industry. Do you think the CFI who busted his butt in the pattern, teaching, or the check hauler who has survived winters in the Northeast is going to really turn down a job...especially if it's the only one offered to him or her?
Go ahead and look down on us for something we can't change. I am sorry if it costs people's jobs, I really am, but that is something that is up to the enemy (management). But as always, we are our own enemies. Good to see that hasn't changed!

I think Eagle is going to feel a royal shaft, HOWEVER this is some executives comment when he needs to make things look good. He just said they hope to make money off AA scope relief. Its not really anything to see here, if they arent the bottom bid they wont get the flying. This was just a way to make things look good, while that place is having some serious labor problems and facing economic issues as Frontier continues to burn up cash.

My point is that this is nothing more than pep talk to investors. They still need to win this contract over Gojet/Mesa/Compass. RAH isnt offered anything yet, they just said on a phone call they hope to make money off this.
