Can anyone shed some light on the "long term" contracts RAH and the big 3 agreed on? How long is long term?

Well then enlighten me and anyone else on here that is wondering what your take on it is.

While I don't necessarily agree with your prediction that a change in the 1500 hour rule is right around the corner, I can agree it would have profound implication on hiring predictions. To someone considering a job at the regionals, it would remove the few years of low wages building time. IF regionals continue to increase compensation, it would be a pretty quick route to making a decent living. However, it's a whole different argument on whether that is the safest course of action to put 250 hour wonder kids in the right seat of a transport category aircraft. It's been done before though.

2020 and beyond

Thanks! I had a hard time finding it online.

There isn't one lawmaker that will sign their name to lowering the 1500hrs. What's the upside to them if they do? One Colgan type deal, and it's a 300hr pilot in the rt seat, whomever signed on to reduce the 1500hr rule just lost their silly career as a politician. It won't happen. Maybe for military time, but not some kid that just got their commercial cert @ 250. And then spent another 250 as an instructor doing stalls. No way josè

The deal is not over yet. I won't leave anything past BB. I don't know if you are current RAH pilot who has been here longer than 2 years but the company is going back to the good old tactics:
- refusing to pay for carry over cancellation.
- refusing the restoring day off when you are extended.
- taking pdos away so that they can cancel vacation
- limiting the reserve swaps...

I can go on and on and on..

When they refuse to do this stuff how is it resolved? I will be starting with RAH in a few weeks and have heard generally really positive things from the people I know there(minor gripes here and there). Granted they have only been on property for a year or so.

Reading about how RLA works is a good start. We have pilots who have been in the property since the new contract and they haven't even cracked the book open.

Rah is an awesome place to be in two cases : in booming days or when they really need you.

Contract will not be altered. That's my point. Every sam dick and harry said it would be. I'll bet you on that and on the 1500hr rule. It won't be touched.
Cheers
