CHQ and United

Flyforfood- You may be interested to know that MAA now is the leader for low 70-seat wages - not Mesa. MAA captain rates are $58/hr. This negotiated by UsAirways MEC. Are you saying that they don't have a backbone too? But please, keep up the bashing. It only helps management.

First year CHQ 70 seat rate - $53.55
First year Mesa 70 seat rate - $53.86
First year Skywest 70 seat rate - $56.03
First year Mesaba 69 seat rate - $58.19
First year ASA 70 seat rate - $60.20
First year Comair 70 seat rate - $63.79

Looks to me like the MAA guys did pretty well.

What is the pay after 1st year? I know that Chautauqua wont having any first year guys flying the 170 as captain.

Not sure if this has been hashed over a bunch or not. But, is republic and chautauqua now under the same union (and seniority list).

Dointime,

That is the key, there aren't any 1st year 70 seat Capts at ASA or Comair---so those airlines are at a disadvantage compared to MAA flying their EMB-170. Got it yet? They will have something like 40 EMB-170s by the end of the year(?), and the combined salary of both the Capt ($58 an hour) and FO ($35 an hour) will not equal a Comair 70 seater Capt's (around $100 an hour?). That is beginning to sound a lot like the comparisons between Delta and United pilots........yikes....

Bye Bye---General Lee

Yes, all flying by Republic Airlines will be done with pilots from the Chautauqua Airlines Pilot Seniority List.
