Appreciate the insight; got a UA or RAH link with the details?
Just curious how the BK affected you:
Getting a lot of flying time these days?
What's the current upgrade time there?

Per company email dated Nov 16th:
"As a part of these settlements, Republic is released from its obligation to purchase 24 new E175s from Embraer, which we could not obtain competitive financing for while we were still in bankruptcy. However, United has agreed to purchase these aircraft directly from Embraer, and United has committed 12 delivery positions to Republic beginning in April 2017. And we remain confident that additional EJET growth opportunities still exist in 2017."
I personally have not been affected by the bankruptcy at all; business has and continues to be uneventful. Upgrades are still at 4 years, and I doubt they'll change much from that.

The writing is definitely on the wall, I don't know why some of my fellow pilots at Mesa defend the company. The junior assignments have started and we are well below an industry standard of pay and work rules. Nothing will change until we grit and show the company we will leave if things don't change.

I don't mean any ill will, just trying to put some validity with the rumors.
