Hah ! Why,what are you gonna do tough guy ? Nothing.Zilch.Zero,that's what.Come back when you grow a pair.Pfffft...

This is what I would expect them to do. It's the most cost efficient thing. They would probably leave the seat rails exposed so it looks ghetto fabulous. I would support the company as much as I could but some things are just rediculous and look so amateur, for instance, the ERJ in Delta colors with one of the two rudders painted up in COex colors. Now that's class right there!

I like that plane, it explains what kind of airline you guys are.

As comical as it is, we are an airline that gets things done. When you see a pieced together airplane you have to ask yourself two questions:

1) Is this airline slapping parts on and skimping on procedures and materials?

or

2) Is this airline slapping parts on and getting the job done correctly and efficiently?

It's one of the two. Of course I can't say I've ever seen a United, USairways, or Delta plane with different colored nose cones or cowlings. :erm:

If you bid for MKE, and get the award after bidding voluntarily, be so kind as to personally give your personal info here.

OK, as long as you give a list of which Gay bars you hang out at???:uzi:

What's wrong with giving the 20 "chosen" Republic pilots a little well deserved recognition?

We should all be allowed to bask in their victory in being assigned to an E190 for the generous paychecks they will surely be recipients of!

The problem is funny guy, if no one bids for it, and they get displaced, why should they get insult added to injury. You need to grow up and quit watching "Hoffa" and "The Sopranos." Start acting like a mature human being. I remember a time when this web site was formed and people were actually here to help each others solve problems.

 

[Metro752]

Wow, you forgot about the word voluntary.

I don't wish any ill will on someone being assigned to the aircraft against their will.

It's ok Captain Morgan no everyone reads as "good" as you.

How can a RP pilot say he wants to help. You guys have f'd this industry far more than mesa. They may have kept wages low, but you guys make that look like chicken scratch.

How so? I want examples of what you're talking about. Give me specifics and I'll give you my point of view on the matter. Yes, the regional jet was bad, but look around. What airline doesn't have them nowadays besides the few that I could count on one hand. Per another thread, we weren't even the launch customer for the RJ. We were flying around Saabs and Jetstreams when the RJ was launched and for quite a while thereafter. Every regional is guilty, and everyone's $hit stinks, I think we can agree on that. I really want to know what you think Samballs, and I don't want to hear, "Mesa, sucks!" or "You are bottom feeders..." My 18 month old daughter could say that. Prove to me your airline, whoever you fly for, is better, more rightious, and more worthy of being crowned King, or if you prefer Queen of the Regionals.

If you work at republic, read your contract. MKE falls under the "hybrid base" provisions of the contract. Among the information you'd find had you actually read it, is the fact that pilots cannot be displaced into a hybrid base. If nobody bids for it, the company has to come to the table no matter how many seats they put in the thing.
