You asked for advice, here goes; Taxi slow, leave the APUs run all day long if you can, write every single thing up, etc. Are you guys doing stuff like that? I understand that if a flight is canceled you won't get paid but there has to be creative ways of letting management know that enough is enough.
You can rest assured that all of these things (and far more) are happening.
BTW, the APU running doesn't hurt RAH, the number of cycles on the thing, however.....

Or just "walk in", get a job, along with a Starbucks gift card and a chance to win an ipad, because there is no shortage of pilots and we don't need to raise pilot wages and improve work rules!
What a complete joke!
From AirlineApps:
Interview sessions will be held beginning at 8:00 a.m. and 1 p.m. at each location. Email us today at [email protected] to reserve your interview slot.
(Every effort will be made to accommodate walk-ins as well.)
Every pilot applicant at each session will receive a Starbucks gift card and the first 60 pilots who register for and attend a session will be entered in a drawing to win one of two iPad Air tablets to be given away each day!

...and the iPad is probably a refurb pre-loaded with push advertisements that the company picked up for $19.99.

You are correct, we are on the same side. With the APU thing I was thinking about fuel burn, but the cycles, muahahahahaaaa.

Quite frankly, anyone enticed by a few goodies to join an organization deserves to suffer under low wages for as long as they might. Only pilots would not benefit from a reduced labour supply. Ridiculous.

The way RAH works, there is almost certainly fine print that requires you to return the gift card and iPad (plus interest) if you don't accept employment and stay for 2 years. If you fail to return it within 30 days, they'll send a collection agency after you.
...and the iPad is probably a refurb pre-loaded with push advertisements that the company picked up for $19.99.

I'm curious about this.. Does anybody know a person who has walked before their two years was up and did RAH actually come after them?

^This. I will take my experience elsewhere, thank you. It's time to stop feeding these low paying trolls, folks.
