Guys u need to post the name of the new hires that show up and we will add them to our nofly list for the jump seat and if you can video there faces and put them on YouTube that worked wonders for Spirit. Those to guys that flew that MD80 leg were scared to fly the leg back it went viral in two hours.
Why? Nobody has crossed any picket line, so they are free to apply and get hired at RAH. I really do hope you were sarcastic as MachJ asked.

right now we need the bar being raised, not dropped, I stand behind RAH, and I might just jot down the dates of when this all started and ended, and keep it in my head for a few years when I look at someones RAH ID and date of hire. We need to stand strong and work together to raise the bar of the industry. IF they can not hire, they will HAVE TO give them a contract. Heck you might even end up there later on under that good contract!

First, if RAH is your only job offer, you probably didn't apply anywhere else or you haven't heard back yet.
Second, that 5K bonus is pretty sketchy. Those of us here want to treat it as a violation of status quo, and the union is pursuing it. Also, applicants must factor in the "training contract" worth 15K.
Third, applicants should consider the atmosphere at this company is REALLY REALLY bitter right now. You probably don't want to be in this environment, on probation, with no contract in sight, the union itching to strike because the company wants to offer a few percent over our 2003 pay with NO WORK RULE changes and a company trying to fire employees for legitimate union business.
If we don't change our work rules, we will continue to be the worst in the "regional" or "national" industry for the next 5-10 years. RAH is suing the IBT right now because they are afraid of their ability to recruit pilots in the next few months/year. If their fears are founded, your value as an applicant, should increase over time (according to the lawsuit I'd expect less than 3 months).
I've whined about this before but I will hit my 6th year for pay longevity here at RAH. I will barely break 30K this year which equates to a Box-1 W2 wage of 23.8K with a small 401K contribution, just like last year. I'm still on reserve...
You will make more than me, probably in your first year but, very likely in your 2nd-3rd year at almost any other regional. While you're making more and enjoying a better QOL (I don't think anyone else has opened/closed/displaced into or out of 17 bases in 6 years), I'll be a 8+ year FO at Republic, possibly holding a line...

My personal advice to NH is other than $5000 witch is really about $2750 after tax, tag and title, you can get the same crapy pay that we have here in RAH or better in other regionals plus much better quality of life. Bryan Bedford and Wayne Heller don't care about work groups at all. In 2011 management offer the flight attendants a 2% pay rise witch is about a large coffee a day!! In 2010 Wayne Heller the COO (#2) got a 30.6% pay increase!!
THAT'S WHO YOU WILL WORK FOR!!!
Good luck on your decition... if you come here you're one of us and we welcome you.
