I'll agree with a couple of the posters above: innocent until proven guilty is how I look at it.
2015 is a ways off and the union has time to negotiate a fair, equitable, standard (or better) mainline rate for a mainline aircraft. I will give their pilots the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. Only time will tell.

UMMMM yeah... SLI May 31 at the latest per the arbitrator. But hey keep trying.
2015 should be about the same time as the SLI comes out. It's amazing that they think they will be around that long.

Maybe you are taking this wrong. I am talking about companies like Air Tran, Southwest, Virgin America will have a hard time competing with an airframe that is 20% cheaper. Companies will have to trim pay, benefits..etc. My son is a Capt. at Shuttle America. I wish RAH well.

At least the Midwest guys will have some planes to come back to eventually. Hopefully they don't defer 30 seats and make the pay the same as the 190.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, this industry was going downhill way before RAH came around. Mainline pilots have done nothing but pull the ladder up behind them. I used to get really irritated at all the crap mgmt did at RAH. Once I realized that this would be (in all likelyhood) my last airline...I figure, what the hell...I'd rather they do what's best for me and my company then what's helpful to you and your company.

in the interim, it'll be interesting to see what happens with their contracts with current mainline carriers who just financed the creation of a major low cost competitor.

Every major could make the jet work at mainline, but they do not want to be stuck with ALL not just pilots, mainline costs when the first major carrier gives it away. That is why most will not move on it.
So that is
Trans States
Republic
with 100 seat orders. Mainline Zero. I guess they know something we don't

The big problem is if they set up some regional pay scale for them so that IF we ever order them we have that set up first to compare. Lets be honest, they dont have a very good track record on producing decent payrates for their aircraft....
