Yea, I see exactly why they can't afford to pay pilots more. :mad:

thats because no one is writing up broken planes in out station or even in base, stop dropping the break early, or calling out fatigued on their last turn when they should be. fly the book and that should help. when their on time hits zero is when they will start thinking about paying their pilots something they can live off of. until then all the junior guys can enjoy sleeping in the airport with their food stamps after working 18 days on reserve only getting paid 75 a month.

Republic $70M 2Q profit
 

Two things here....
First, I'm not sure where Air Transport World got that 70M figure. According to NASDAQ, it was 24.6M over 20M same quarter last year. Still a huge increase and does not justify their refusal to pay pilots a decent wage.

Secondly, this news may bode well for our upcoming negotiations. Profits this large with an increase of 25% over a year will become a strong leverage point for the union in front of the NMB. It will be difficult for the company to continue to justify these wages with such an increase.

They made 25 million and 14 million was on the Frontier side of the house, I would expect them to report broke over the next 2-3 quarters as the sale of frontier happens.
