This week:

1. Cancel 145 upgrade class
2. Reduce bilateral negotiation meetings
3. Announce replacement planes (not growth) to different certificate = hoses 100s of pilots
4. Announce worse flight benefits than last year
5. Culture change checklist - Complete.

Standby for next week's episode of BB Cares.

Avoid this place like the plague. Eight years of negotiations should tell you how much BB gives a **** about pilots at his company. The same goes for the new guy they brought in to talk us all into dropping our pitchforks.

And where were they supposed to go? Republic just saw 50 planes for growth, while shuttle has been stagnant as hell. The real answer is to get a merge done, yes, but share the wealth a bit. The only way it would really unfairly hose 100s is if they open a DEN base, which they haven't announced and isn't a certainty.

My condolences to RAH pilots for all the cancelations the past month. Sucks going to work and not getting paid. For anyone thinking of going to RAH just know they have no cancelation pay (you could lose a quarter of your pay in a month like January). The company still gets paid though.

This is incorrect. We're still getting min guarantee of 75 hrs per agreement with the company.

As lousy as this place is some days, at least give out accurate info vs out and out lies and exaggeration.

100%. Have lost over 13hrs of pay in less than a week at RAH these past few days. Company still pockets the money from daddy D while the pilots get nothing....going on 8 years of this BS. Republic is the only regional airline that does not have cancellation pay, even Mesa has line guarantee cancellation pay. Oh and the company has basically just told our union to go pound sand regarding negotiations. I would venture to guess many of our FO's have lost $400-$500 in the past week....maybe more.

This is true, however doesnt change the fact that many people still are not pay protected for cancelled flights they were not originally awarded. I still have lost 13+ hours of pay, and many of our first officers are in the same boat, guaranteed. Yes we had line guarantee pay protection for January...that was for one day of wx related cancellations. Now we are into February and today's wx cancellations is not part of that pay protection. Not exactly exaggeration and out right lies my friend.

And the company changes your guarantee if you trade trips...so if you have an 80 hour line, swap with another crew member to a 77 hour line, and you lose a day of pay now you only get paid 72 hours.
