Does Republic still suck?

[say again]

What in the world does charter and corporate have to do with the airlines? Apples and Oranges, Brother!!!!

I agree. I work corporate/charter now, and will never go back to the regionals. (spent 3 yrs at one, a great one at that.) The one's today suck.

Trans States sucks more!

I believe he was comparing lifestyles. I worked 135 on-demand charter and was on a pager 24/7. I got a call one night and was gone for 10 days straight. Going from that schedule to a regional airline was great. I had hard days off, what a concept! Even with jr. manning life was 100% better.

Above poster is correct. I was referring to the types of lifestyles that each one possesses. The most impact any flying job has on us as pilots is the qol/lifestyle. I'm not trying to put down corporate flying, it just isn't my cup of tea. I know a lot of people like it and that's great! I was just expressing my opinion that even with the "warts" that RAH has, I would rather be doing the regional than corporate.

I respectfully disagree. I am flying corporate/charter now and would rather cut off my own left nut than go to work for Republic.

It's bad but not as bad as some people make it out to be. .

Come on, are you serious? You are exactly the kind of guy that management wants working here! That's why we will never get a respectable contract around here! I'm just afraid that there are way too many guys with this kind of mentality to actually make a change around here. :uzi:

Are you kidding? What is so "no bad" about it? Crap hotels, low pay, management treats you like dirt, contract sucks, and I could go on and on. My favorite part was working 14 hours a day, flip-flopping my body clock day to day, oh and reserve was a blast too. Even a line sucks over there.

If a pilot needs the flying experience to get to the major airlines, and they don't get that experience in the military, how do they get it? Even though there are no good regionals to fly for, is there one or two that are OK to fly for?

Attitude's like this are why people are flying 100 seat airplanes for 37,000 a year MAX.

... That and the whole scope clause thing too.

I am serious, and I think you, like many F/O's at RAH, are overreacting. Maybe because the upgrade isn't 1-2 years like it used to be I don't know. I swear most of the F/O's around here are about to jump off a cliff or slit their wrists. This is not to say I'm a management lackey, but seriously, people need a reality check. Relax, and when the vote come for a new contract then you can voice your opinion with a vote. You are just spinning your wheels and wasting your own energy at this time.

I will agree that management treats you like dirt, but what did you expect? Did you really think that they'd roll out the red carpet and invite you for an afternoon on the back nine? As for the 14 hours a day, I've worked 19 hours flying a Falcon 900 corporate part 91. Yeah, part 91, no rules have fun with that!

Actually, I think a lot of them did expect that and are now throwing fits. After all, throwing fits always worked in the past.

There is a lot that needs fixing. Unfortunately there are a lot who are upset that nobody has fixed it for them.
