Jobs at Republic

Got a note from ALPA of a job offer at Republic. F/O at $31/ hr.

One day I'm a United F/O based in LAX. Then I'm on the street looking at express jets at my old Shuttle gates.

I get a recall but furloughed again to "right-size".

Now I look at my old job coming back to CAL recalls only. Based in LAX?

But I got a job offer. Who am I to thank for my good fortune?

Just an 11 year roller coaster ride.

Sismek is going to do whatever he can to right size a market. Except a fair amount of UAL widebodies to get redeployed to CAL long hauls in the months ahead.

I also find it ridiculous that I should be willing to outsource my own job to myself.

I dunno but I hope the entire class is filled with fuloughees that want the currency for employment purposes. Let The Reverend pay for everybody's training and then move on. I'll shed crocodile tears for Republic when nobody sticks around at those pay rates and work rules.

Got the same email.

It's hard to know what to say. The ups and downs are getting queasy indeed.

A few more years for many of us will mean about 15 years with UAL and 12 years on furlough.
We did not get furloughed , we got "RIGHT SIZED" for the merger of the century.

I would like to know where people stand in the pecking order for these possible jobs. Just out of curiosity.
