Can anyone shed some light on the "long term" contracts RAH and the big 3 agreed on? How long is long term?

Well then enlighten me and anyone else on here that is wondering what your take on it is.

While I don't necessarily agree with your prediction that a change in the 1500 hour rule is right around the corner, I can agree it would have profound implication on hiring predictions. To someone considering a job at the regionals, it would remove the few years of low wages building time. IF regionals continue to increase compensation, it would be a pretty quick route to making a decent living. However, it's a whole different argument on whether that is the safest course of action to put 250 hour wonder kids in the right seat of a transport category aircraft. It's been done before though.

You see, the problem we have in hand is because of the 1500 rule. That goes away, the scale tips in favor of airline management.

Let's see what happens to the override pays, day off flying etc. etc. when that takes place.

There isn't one lawmaker that will sign their name to lowering the 1500hrs. What's the upside to them if they do? One Colgan type deal, and it's a 300hr pilot in the rt seat, whomever signed on to reduce the 1500hr rule just lost their silly career as a politician. It won't happen. Maybe for military time, but not some kid that just got their commercial cert @ 250. And then spent another 250 as an instructor doing stalls. No way josè

- refusing the restoring day off when you are extended.
- taking pdos away so that they can cancel vacation
- limiting the reserve swaps...

I can go on and on and on..

Rah is an awesome place to be in two cases : in booming days or when they really need you.
