What do you find interesting about it, Bolo? I know you love to hate Republic pilots, but please don't tell me you are still drinking up that company Kool-aid.

Funny, they used AE and Piedmont to compare us to. Insert surprise here...

Stopping negotiations was a bad mistake and many of us pointed it out at the time, to no avail.

Their proposal was still insulting and regressive.

I hate that argument. How many majors are hiring? I know Captains who have been trying to get out for years. It's tough for members of the 36.62 club with upgrade in sight.

The majority of pilots at most regionals are trying to move on. Acting like it is the worst job in the world and then still working there just makes you like you've never had a real job before or came from an only child family. Especially the guys on here whining about pay when they are bypassing upgrades so they can stay on the 170.

The people here who ***** the most upgraded in less than 2 years or are part of the "36.62" club who got hired with 300 hours. While they got a job with an airline I moved across country, threw bags, and flight instructed. Yes, $36.62 is bs, but c'mon!

I'm sorry starship, but you are wrong on both counts at least in my case.

I'm curious though, did you click on a thread that has nothing to do with you, then, complain about other people complaining? It just seems odd.

I see that you may be an employee here. So actually, you just think people shouldn't describe the working conditions or miserable pay rates, to educate new hires.

People can describe whatever they want but if the conditions are really that bad and they continue to work there and complain it's the worst job in the world, even with an upgrade insight, it's very hypocritical. I work here and know what it's like but I don't relentlessly complain because nobody is forcing me to stay here.. Most people already know the problems with pay and everything else, it's old news.

If you've never had another aviation related job besides flight instructing then you probably won't understand it's pretty much the same everywhere. If you want to argue over the nuisances of pay and work rules from regional to regional, fine, whatever, you'll be miserable for life. People leave here all the time for better jobs or they've had enough of the airlines so there's your out.
