The Republic TA (from my understanding) is only "industry leading" in terms of pay. The other language, maybe not so much. And they are still prime for restructuring so they likely have a bumpy road ahead.
And as to Billy's comment about green on green at PSA and PDT... PSA has taken a vast amount of our new hires from the ranks of ComAir, Endeavor, ExpressJet, Eagle, etc. Half of my new hire class was guys/gals with a lot of 121 experience.

It pretty much already has. I think AAG is betting on some regional's folding up shop in order to keep attracting applicants to its wholly owneds. That is the only thing I can think of them doing. Because they are sticking to the 4/12 and the applicant pool is already slim pickings.

Shocking....after lurking in the shadows for years, I too find myself actually agreeing with Billyho, you are my hero.

Our POS contract was still better than yours! But it wasn't good enough so we said no! If AWAC tanks then I'm finished with the airlines unless I have moved on! I stuck Comair out to the end and refused to apply to Republic. I did 6 yrs there and coming up on 2 yrs at AWAC all in the right seat and about 8 months at TSA (Bad decision BTW). I would bet we have less MEL's than your jungle jet on a daily basis despite the age of the fleet! I did a stint in an Embraer product and hated it!
I won't sell out nor will I start again at another regional! At least I won't have do do paper updates til we shutdown! That's comforting!

And then your boy Bedford files for bankruptcy and your back to square one with probably a bigger POS contract then you voted in!

Umm no! After riding in your jumpseat a few times I'm surprised you are't a newspaper headline! You guys have done wonders for regional airlines by taking a sword for new airplanes! A CRJ is a CRJ despite the wingspan and the # of seats! Just seems the more seats the smaller the paycheck! Long live the angry poodle!
