Man, I get this strange feeling you're new at RAH. As in less than 1 yr here. To even remotely stick up for how the company does the whole REA/cnx pay is criminal. Yes, if you are reassigned to different flying in a parring, you get the greater of the two.
However, if anything gets cancelled you get squat. I was on a 4 day worth 24 hours in the fall, bunch of crap got cancelled. I sat in the PIT hotel for the last three days because the company told me I couldn't leave. I credited all of 8 hours for those 4 days I was on the trip.
Get back to me when you have that happen.
I am in disgust reading your quote. "but hey if you get reassigned they actually pay you for the reassign!!" like its some sort of great thing that we should be thankful for.

Also, Republic doesn't have true cancellation pay, however if you are reassigned you are pay protected for the greater of originally scheduled block or actual reassignment... Still sucks though. And as far as staffing... my understanding is in March alone they hired 70 pilots, with yet more to come. Right now it seems the only plane they struggle to staff is the Q400.

One thing I really hate is that I can't bid a 75 hr max days off schedule. If I could then cancellation wouldn't matter to me. It does matter though. I'm starting to realize how far away we are from a new contract. Let's hope we get an industry standard contract sooner rather than later.

It sounds like you're flying way to much over guarantee. If you're that worried try flying less than 80 so the most you'll lose is a couple hours. Why would you want cancellation pay anyways? Then you will lose flying to some regional with worse pay, go bankrupt and have to start over.
This HAS to be flamebait.
No intelligent human being would actually believe this!

I hope to God you were trolling.

I know these folks and disagree with your generalization and in fact find it offensive. You really don't know the Comair pilot group if you believe this. And yes. I have 10+ yrs at Comair and am damn proud of it.
