I heard LGA had a disproportionate level of day trips. But I'm too lazy to check. Good luck commuting to NY on our starting pay I don't know how people do it. You'll be lucky to break even working here. Don't think its any better at 6th year FO pay.

If we're lucky, someone will find out 3662Forlife is illegally and knowingly operating a fleet of aircraft exceeding a placarded weight limitation for flight bags. Oops different topic...If only the FAA cared about safety. We've reported the overweight bags to our DO, just the books exceed the weight limit (even if you don't carry them in a bag).

A few new hires on CHQ are getting SDF as well. No ones getting ORD as far as I can tell. CMH has a small tickle. IND is backfill only.

Don't take a job if you're just going to complain about it.

Its ok to complain if the rules were one thing when you got there and they changed after.

Yes, you are definitely missing something here. The Super 8 on Wesleyan is one block away from the RAH corporate offices and is an excellent staging area for a march on HQ.

How much good the march itself will do is debatable, but a little research on your part would have gone a long way towards making your attempt at sarcasm more effective.

RJet is another corporate plant. Check out his/her post history.

Absolutely no one, can recommend RAH for any reason. Two of the four certificates are faced with "restructuring". Corporate leadership might be facing investigation in the next few months regarding willfully violating federal labor laws to circumvent NMB rulings, representation rights, and quid-pro-quo deals with ex-FAPA leadership.

Our conference calls and annual shareholders meetings indicate that we are circling the drain. Our CEO has no idea how to lead anything, but its ok because he'll "pray on it". And we're run by a group of high school graduates who wouldn't be employable in white collar jobs outside of IND.

We're losing our CHQ flying for AA in about 4 months. We are losing our F9 flying (about 17 planes worth). And we may lose more CHQ flying since "costs are unsustainable". We also have a record of "hire till you fire." We've opened/closed/or displaced into or out of 17 bases in the last 7 years.

But if these things sound like a winning combination to you... Come on over! This is a great place to rack up a furlough. Don't be surprised if you're applying to the same jobs you're applying to right now in about a year though.

I have no intention of setting fire to a power keg if indeed this is what its become here... But is Republic still hiring? I mean actively interviewing and are they going anywhere below their stated mins (I have 1169tt 147multi).

Yeah we're hiring. Of course you better have been turned down by every other reputable operator in this country before you consider this place. I simply can't believe people are coming here for 6 year upgrades and the worst contract in the industry. Cape Air has a better contract than we do...

I expect to hear about furloughs in about two months though. If you are not qualified when the furlough happens you won't necessarily be entitled to recall based off your date of hire. The company has "past practice" on this issue. They will VERY likely hire until the day they start laying off. I'd expect some time around October for the first round of furlough notices.
