So that's why we rent hangar space at LGA?! Because it's cheaper?

There isn't a hanger in LGA that is leased by RAH. The company has 6 hangers located in CMH, IND, MKE, PIT, SDF and MCI.

I think not!
I don't think that JetBlue or Airways operate a CRJ, E145, or DHC8, but I know FO's that flew those that are now at both of those companies on all types. Thanks for nothing though....

To the OP, I don't know anything about RAH, but you might have to fly with Karma, which would be reason enough for me not to go there...

I was only on reserve at XJT for 4 months, but the lines are getting progressively less commutable. Next month I have one commutable trip. If you're young, mobile, and you don't have a family and can live in base or within driving distance, it's not so bad, at least no worse than any other regional. If you're after a quick upgrade...well, someone told me once to never chase a quick upgrade so I can't recommend trying that. It's never as quick as you think it will be. Go wherever offers you the best QoL from day 1.

You're going to have to use a little common sense from time to time. Obviously I didn't say or imply all of the FO's hired but there are more FO's from the 170 vs CRJ or DHC8. If you worked at JetBlue and wanted the lowest washout rate, who do you think you'd hire? Trust me, I've seen people who couldn't adapt and step up to the embraer.

If you are concern that your new hires from the thousands of qualified applicants out there will wash out because they have never flown an Ejet your training department have issues. Compass folks state that they haven't had much attrition lately so you are saying that most new hires at US Airways and JetBlue are form RAH. Also what happens when these individuals transition to the BUS, they will washout then right.

Dude stop making stuff up, you sound very unintelligent and delusional...

And step up to the Embraer???? There are guys all over the world over the last few years with 500 or so hours make it thru training. Embraer makes airplanes simple to fly, that's how they built the ERJ and EJET. These airplanes have been designed for someone with limited flying experience. That's how all RJs have been designed. AUTOMATIC!!! And Airbus has done the same thing.

I think he means, he couldn't adapt and move on from the Embraer.

I simply can't afford to "step up to the embraer." I'll take my non-nerf flying, thank you.

Actually there is. Well. Half a hangar. I'd be happy to show it to you anytime.
