Cool thanks for the info. I'm assuming youngest is least senior correct?

Seems like no matter what seniority will be based off of (age, last name, social) I will always be at the bottom of my class lol.

 

Not saying you are wrong, but I have heard that the AA 170 flying is going away, someone told me there was an Email saying April 25th they'd lose 61 Lines of flying for AA. No idea if it's true, but thought I'd see what else people have heard. (I also have no idea how much percentagewise of flying those lines represent) Also, not that I think it will be an issue, but a judge and the creditors have to agree to Delta stepping in with the DIP loan.....Delta is not currently on that board of creditors.

 

We got an email at Envoy that starting April 25th we are getting several lines of flying. While it did not specifically say who it came from, it is ORD, MIA and NY flying. For instance, ORD-SLC, ORD-MSY, ORD-DEN, ORD-BDL to just name a few. The flight departure/arrival are the ones currently shown as operated by Republic.

I feel bad for those people who bought a F class ticket on a 175 to SLC who now have to do that flight in a 145.

 

A lot of Republic flying has dumped back into the Envoy Open time this month out of ORD and MIA. I have been doing almost all MIA flying at Envoy lately the over the last month that has been put back on us unscheduled into our open time. MIA, EYW, JAX, TLH, GNV, Bahamas etc. etc. Out of ORD there is MSY, DEN, SLC, IAH and probably some more I haven't noticed.

 

You guys need a satellite base in MIA.

Good Luck!

 

In regards to the April 25th date mentioned above, this is from a company CH 11 update email yesterday:

"...In that effort we are preparing to reject up to 23 leased EJET aircraft prior to the April 25 deadline and our market planning and operations teams have been working with codeshare partners, and specifically American, to mitigate the near-term effect of this change. It's important to remember that the majority of these aircraft are currently idle and not producing any revenue for us."

 

Majority idle=how much less block hours?

Total block hours for Republic and Shuttle are down 1,122 hours for May. So not much change. Block hours have continuously decreased (with few exceptions) over the last 18 months. Most of the 170s I have seen are still flying in DCA and LGA, so I think that those will be parked next month because they have 0 hours of block scheduled, and they will be bringing out the parked 175s that are sitting at various airports (CMH, IND, PIT, etc.).

 

Most junior MCI FO is a 1/26/16 hire.

 

Holy cow, you guys and your rumors.

No, we are not losing all of our AA flying.

Yes, it seems a small amount of AA flying may be leaving (the email is not clear as to what is exactly happening there). Yes, we have 170/175s sitting idle costing money and not generating revenue that we are getting rid of. However, this is exactly what the company said we would do. Downsize the fleet to the right number of jets for the pilots we have, become stable, then grow from there.

Here is EXACTLY what the email said about it:

"On the codeshare front, we met with both United and American and remain engaged in negotiations to formalize our flying amendments with both of these partners. As discussed in prior updates, we are required to take a conservative approach to fleet management until we finalize agreements with each of our flying and aircraft partners. In that effort we are preparing to at reject up to 23 leased EJET aircraft prior to the April 25 (S1110) deadline and our market planning and operations teams have been working with codeshare partners, and specifically American, to mitigate the near-term effect of this change. It’s important to remember that the majority of these aircraft are currently idle and not producing any revenue for us"

Now, time for me to start a rumor of my own.

I predict that Republic will come to agreements with United and American (similar to Delta) and exit BK within 12 months with an all EJET fleet on 1 operating certificate still flying for the "big three".....retaining the best contract in the (regional) industry.
