Read again Dimwit! If you are basing things on one question and a single topic, then, you are definitely a dimwit pilot.

Lynx rates were sub par, I don't think that's being debated. The difference is that we were promised that they would not stay that way.

Seriously, I don't think anyone is really hating anyone because of where they work. I think some of the vitriol is in response to the hubris that is coming from SOME guys.

When you say single seniority list can pilots simply bid bases then move to them once they have the seniority regardless if they were hired for Republic, Shuttle America or Chautauqua. Can you move between all three freely?

And that pay scale is virtually every regional pay scale contract signed back when the industry was slow. Lynx people chose to go fly for sub rah rates in 2007 when everyone was hiring. Southwest captains make 200k a year to fly a 737, United guys make 120k to fly an airbus virgin america even less, how about go express your outrage at them.

And show me anywhere else where a fourth year guy makes the same as a twelfth year guy. "When the industry was slow", nice grammar. How about "that contract was signed back when the regional industry was experiencing a downturn. United pilots signed a contract under the duress of chapter 11 section 1113. Republic pilots signed a contract under the duress of stupidity. Apples and oranges.

I hope you are enjoying that 37 dollars per hour. I'll leave it at that.

I think that will come as news to the Midwest pilots. I know a few interviewed last week and the week before but I haven't heard of anyone being told they were hired. So if these 27 have been hired and not notified and class starts in less than three days, nice operation you got going there. Seems to me that they are conveniently doing whatever it takes to make it so no Midwest pilots are hired. BTW, I know many of the Midwest guys said no when asked if they would sign the training contract.

That "original" RAH contract was signed quickly to prevent Bedford from creating an alter Ego airline when he bought the original Shuttle America. BB wanted separate pilot lists so he could get the whipsaw in action.

It's clear you don't know very much about the entire process, so maybe stay out of the conversation until you do. Move on. Thanks.

So after the SLI, how would a recall work? Since you can't cross bid certificates as an FO, the only two certificates I'd even consider would be Republic and Frontier due to the bases.
