Hmm my opinion is that management is banking on pilot attrition matching the rate they lose planes. If attrition doesn’t keep up, furlough.
NH classes are pretty much empty or nonexistent and they don’t seem to mind.. upgrading only to cover half attrition, saying “no need to furlough at this time” etc.
My uneducated opinion is they had a deal in the bag and lost it and are stringing us along because if we don’t move planes they don’t get paid.
Also recently heard PHX MX was told to move to LA or hit the street.
I dunno. If I was a top 100 CA that lived in SoCal I might stick around to see how it plays out. But for those on reserve in either seat, or heading towards reserve... it’s going to be incredibly ugly.
I remember 2017 we had captains calling in on the employee call begging to fly because they hadn’t touched a plane in 50+ calendar days in a row. That was losing 2 planes per month for 3 months...

Negative. The whole reason Republic had to go with the multiple certificate kabuki dance was because the APA fined Chautauqua something like 6 million dollars for having 170s on their certificate until Republic could aquire Shuttle and park the Saabs and put 170s there. Old US Airways scope didn't apply to anything flown outside of Airways which was why the 190s were put on the old Republic Certificate.
