I dunno, but I'm not looking forward to it. This isn't the "growth" I was hoping for. I want NO part of Republic at this point. Time to start working on back up plan number...ah crap I've lost count by now. This industry sucks.

How about "MoFroChautMiRep" If you pronounce it out its "Mo Fro Shot Me Rep" by paying peanuts for flying mainline aircraft.

Sorry couldnt think of anything for shuttle.

I usually lead the way in attacks, but the resentment really should be directed towards RAH management/F9. RAH pilots may or may not get fair wages on the 190, and who really knows whats going to happen with F9, anyway I think once the negotiations are through the RAH pilot group is ultimately at the mercy of their current contract. I think if the RAH pilot group really steps up and demands what they are worth, could be a great thing, however if A-320's/E-190's are flown for typical regional pay, it really will set precedent and will be unfortunate,

If anyone stays at the Crown Plaza in MCI, be careful there is like bed-bugs or tics or some kind of little bug everywhere, it is disgusting

I'm sure OO still has lots of money, and things couldn't be cheaper right now. Wonder why they aren't moving on something?

Let me guess... your name is Bryan Bedford. Republic can't have pilots this young.

Not bad but why is everyone stuck on 15/20 year payscales. How about a 5 year payscale with Colas after that. I am not saying lower the top I am saying compress it so you can make some real money in a reasonable time frame.

This would discourage the management from trying to run off people on the top and if you chose to leave one company for another it wouldn't take forever to get back to you current level of pay.

F9 pilots stating BB is looking for complete scope relief are retarded. Scope relief on what??? BB isn't trying to buy your airline to farm the planes out for someone else to fly. It's another cut and dry portion of our contract. If RAH owns the airplane, then RAH pilots fly 'em. And if RAH buys F9, F9 pilots become RAH pilots. So...you...fly...your...own...airplane. That's the concept the majors lost sight of a LONG time ago.

AND - since we don't have an Airbus pay rate...that means it's negotiating time. They got 60 days to work out a pay rate before it goes to forced Arbitration (again, cut and dry out of the contract). If people think Airbii are just going to show up on property and we're going to happily cruise around in them for $30 an hour, they need to have their head examined. It's not like the end-around they pull putting "just enough" seats on a 190 and saying "Here, fly this". This is a whole new aircraft, with a whole new set of rules and actually...a lot more leverage for the pilot group.

Now...I'm just guessing on all this...it's amazing how many "experts" popped up for a News Release that's THREE HOURS OLD!

The real ******* sandwich for the frontier pilots would be after they merged lists. A lot of Frontier f/o's are making more than republic capt. What would happen to the frontier f/o's? They move back to regional f/o payrate?
