Lol. Uh ok. Whatever you say. Then you should be getting them any day, right? So you even have Sim time blocked and ready to go, huh? CKA all ready (even with zero time in the plane)? Please. XJT at the bare minimums are mid 2016 before you'd be ready for it. You're being lied to in order to get suckers to stay there.

Whenever republic loses their contract...Take the blinders off your eyes my friend, S5 has worse CCF than C5....they are canceling flights left and right for NO CREWS. There is NOTHING to attract pilots (no cancelation pay, no dead head pay, terrible benefits) and you're saying that Shuttle and RAH will be able to staff MORE airplanes...writing is on the wall. not saying the flying will go to XJT but its better staffed than S5 and ready to go. I dont know why you have a hard on to say that it couldn't possibly happen.

Question 2. Why are you so hellbent on RAH losing our contract and picking up our flying? I believe the only two regionals left that said no to garbage contracts are expressjet and.... wait for it... Republic. We are very close to a new TA, which will have to be good, or this pilot group will say no, again. Might that be a good thing for you and the rest of the industry if we are able to raise the bar??

Question 1. If somehow you all are able to instantly jump start a new 175 program, where are you getting 50 of them from in time to make a difference? Because as previously stated, our 50 are owned by RAH, not united. I doubt they would be for sale.

As long as I got mine, I do not give a rodent's behind about you.
or Oh my, he's got it good, how do I bring him down to my level. Lots of crab mentality.
or If I post misleading info on APC, I will lure more suckers to join my airline, thus enhancing my own position. Pass the koolaid.
There is a lot of chaff to sift through, to get to the grains.
Its the newbies who pay the price. They will rue the day they made their decisions based on all the self-serving info posted here.

The logical thing for RAH to do with them is to lease them to bring in some revenue for the shareholders. Crazy to think that he would lease the planes to the company they lost the flying to, but he is responsible to the shareholders and no one else. He will do what they tell him to do, even if it means turning RAH into a leasing company.
