Re: "getting out." I have just a few goals for my career - single income family, reasonable job security, and a schedule with the most time at home possible. If I were staying in CMH my entire career, Republic would satisfy that goal better than any other company. The grass is greener here in CMH than I could find anywhere else as long as I live here. I am moving soon and will have to commute, however, so my apps are going in over the next few months. I don't want to commute to this employer or any other regional if I can help it. That breaks up my career goals too much.
It’s a solid point living in base and maximizing your time at home is huge. It’s your family and you know what’s best for that no one else can make that choice for you. I’m sorry you have to move that’s tough on everyone. Hopefully it’s for the best?

It's voluntary. Great job for my wife and the chance to be close to family. Everything we could want other than having to commute!

Can someone just close this thread?
His numbers are not correct. He is picking and choosing the data. He could get it from FB, but something tells me he’s still here.


Oh and first post!!!

I’m still waiting for someone to correct me. The data is correct. You haven’t addressed which data you think is incorrect.

Oh, so you're one of those 10-year captains that just finally made it to mainline? What better way to celebrate than making an APC profile to talk sh*t about your previous employer.

LOL He might still be here, maybe he's really gone? but in any case he's obviously trolling the FB page and definitely one of those guys who moves on ha ha ha. On a mission to stop the hiring at Republic and a mission to screw with growth, upgrade and careers of people he used to apparently (or still does) called colleagues. One of those that take a sh!t in his own backyard. what a small minded person.

Here's the reality - for those of us that have moved on from RAH, we really cannot fathom how anyone can justify not trying to get out of that company. Any of us that have moved on and seen how the other side lives cannot believe what we were forced to endure at that company. La Quintas in some of the shadiest areas of town, schedulers who went out of their way to make life miserable, CPs who deliberately tried to destroy careers, sim instructors who used the sim for their own personal vendettas, pilots who used the 170 as their own personal Ferrari and are still employed, horrible trips that start early, end late, and on and on and on.

I've talked with my friends who have moved on from RAH and we all basically conclude that "my worst day at (insert legacy) is better than my best day at RAH." If you truly believe that you have it good at RAH, you don't know what good is. And you can justify it all you want with "I can't take the paycut" or "I have a good QOL". You have no idea what a good QOL is, and if you can't cut your pay a few bucks an hour, you've horribly mismanaged your finances. Stop pretending that you somehow have it better than you do.

Yet again, no one is saying this is as good as a legacy. No one said that. However for the time being, as we all build resumes to get to there, Republic is fine for a lot of us. I also haven’t dealt with anything that you mentioned. I know that kind of stuff happened but not I’m my experience in 2 years. Also, good QOL is subjective. This is definitely better than my previous job hauling boxes in the Nantucket fog for 14 hours a day with no time for anything other than work and sleep.

With that said, we need a new contract to survive. We are definitely under paid and many aspects of our current contract need work.
