Regional flying was unfortunately given away by the mainline pilots years ago. I personally don't like flying an rj for another company. I don't like seeing mainline 737 pilots on the street. I don't like seeing a crj900 in delta colors not being flown by delta pilots. But that's the cards that are on the table and until a mainline Mec grows some balls and gets a hold of thier scope then that is not going to change.
What sickens me about republic is that they are a direct replacement for Midwest pilots at a cheap rate. And like Md80 said there are Replacement Airways pilots going around bragging about their new lax overnight and all this great new flying they are doing. That's the sickening thing. They are nothing but a big middle finger to Midwest guys. They need so get thier collective heads out of the sand and realize what they are actually doing.
And toiletduck, wake turbulence cautions are for 767's and 757's and heavy aircraft as such, not a stinkin e170. Invitation to come back to earth.

Seriously? And you hope to be the captain of an aircraft with people in the back someday?

Show us the seniority numbers of these ashamed pilots that are forced to replace mainline Midwest. If it's anything higher than the bottom 10% on either seat, that's a pretty big middle finger I'd say. Not that it matters anyways but since you are coming on here defending against the obvious.

I've hit the wake of a 737 8 miles ahead of me and it put the ERJ on it's side. He's not a heavy. You don't think a 170 could hit you rough on an approach to landing? They can and they do. Don't underestimate the power of a wake when low and slow, you've got pax back there.
And Apc is not where you hear Rah pilots boasting about flying the Midwest flights, that's done while jumpseating to ind and California. I've had a it a couple times already.

Not saying one shouldn't be cautious, I have a lot of respect for wakes myself, but the 170 is not really a hazard to safe flight with those big, efficient winglets.

You must be the ashamed pilot, or worn out from working for such an outfit since you have so much to say about everyone else.. Redirect those feelings of hostility elsewhere.. buy yourself a stress ball, maybe that will help or just go get laid if you can afford it. How awesome it is to be anonymous, right?
As for RAH pilots, I am not happy with what is happening but neither are they. A majority of us understand this. If you weren’t so ashamed of yourself maybe you would have the opportunity to talk with some of those pilots (in person rather than behind a keyboard) and realize what the RAH pilot group thinks of this as a whole.

Who cares what seat he is in Mr. Sky God? Just because somebody is an FO does not mean his opinion is any less valid than yours. Kind of sounds like the lineholder mentality......im better because I hold a line and I am entitled to more than you... Give me a break. He has a point and you know what, I think he is right. That 170 ahead of him has DESTROYED this industry and our future.
