And if we again fall behind PSA so what? We will just be right back where we were a year ago, waiting for our savior BB to bs his way through another solution.
Don't forget that it is a "$200 holiday charity stipend" AND a turkey sandwich

Have you not seen executives pocket a lot of money because "they work really hard " ?
Do you think this stupid thing that gives you $25 is better than the retention bonus that PSA, envoy just announced ?

There are so many thing that we have no control over that those metrics can suffer and you will get zero dollars.
And let me guess (only if we're stereotyping here), you're the crusty ******* that has been here since 2002?

I'm not sure what the name is but I was told it was north of Indianapolis.

Oh the new bonus isn't about retention. It's insurance to ensure management gets their bonus. I don't expect a Envoy or Endeavor type retention bonus at Republic. Our pay rates are enough for now, and they can still offer bonuses to new hires. Besides most of the lifers will never leave this place, and BB knows it.

I know of plenty of guys who were "lifers" who bailed. That place is a sinking ship as well as every other regional....get your time and GTFO.

Republic has proven itself to be a disaster. They forced the hands of the legacy carriers with the bankruptcy, demanding more money. It only worked because they really needed the lift that rjet is currently providing. That lift will not be needed forever.

The question is, however, what will happen moving forward. United is buying 737's and will eventually phase most of the flying out. Delta is also phasing out a good percentage of it's regional flying. AA has doubled down on its WO, and is trying to grow them so it can cut back on contract carriers.

RJET forced the hands of the legacy carriers, but they will get the last laugh.

Welcome aboard! Try not to let the negativity on here affect your decision. I'm not based in ORD, so this is purely a guess, but I'd say at least a year.
