Don't let YX fanboy and cheerleader Andy lead you to believe that we're close to a new contract. The truth is that we are nowhere near a new contract. It's been crickets from the NC, and per the last update, the majority of the articles haven't even started negotiations.
We won't see a new contract until early 2023 at B.E.S.T

I hope I am not too out of line here, but Andy makes some good points when he posts and he generally seems even-keeled. Respectfully, your responses come across as upset and emotional, and I think your points would be better taken if that were not the case. Honestly, it’s hard to believe from your posts that you work for Republic.
In any case, I am looking at the strengths and weaknesses of all the regionals. While I am admittedly more focused on those in the NYC area or commutable from them, and while YX has room for improvement, the training center news seems like a really smart move. It’s forward thinking, which is refreshing after seeing how many airlines operate.
While it’s probably a long way down the road, it will likely significantly reduce costs, streamline their operation, and generally improve quality of life for the trainees and others. It’s a long term play which I don’t see as competing with the direct compensation of pilots. Two completely different parts of operation, balance sheet, etc. Having said that, I know nothing about Indianapolis, its suburbs, the master plan, and what the specifics of the tax breaks are. But clearly they have a plan, which speaks volumes.
As someone who is considering republic in the near term (who likely won’t see the benefit of this training center), to me, it only makes management look smarter and the better choice as far as regionals are concerned.
Just my two cents.

When looking at a company, the training center should carry as much weight in the decision making process as which inflight snacks the company serves on-board. Like others have said, it’s a regional. Get in, get your time, and gtfo. Especially with the amount of hiring coming up. Now, back to my stroopwafels.

I realize it’s still a regional, and I get that the name of the game is get in, and get out by moving to the next goal ASAP. If I could skip the regionals, I would in a heartbeat.
It must have not been completely obvious from my post, but yeah, I am looking at regionals that will allow me to be based in NYC. Contract is a close second. Republic and Endeavor are both at the top of the list.
By no means am I starry eyed or even excited about it, and if that’s what you got from my post, I must not be that articulate. As I said before, I won’t even benefit from it. Just saying it does, in my opinion, reflect well on the company, generally speaking.
I just think it’s funny that anyone would try to spin this as a bad thing for the pilots or company because I don’t think it is. And I certainly haven’t heard anyone make that case in previous posts. But now is your chance!
