Take a look at my profile and ask youself again if I got hired on with 250 hours. Quite the contrary, this is my second regional airline. Before this I flew 135 single pilot freight, flew part 91 corporate, and 135 charter. I am just finishing up college now online with a family to provide for to boot. Don't presume I'm anything that your little mind conjurs up. My first post was sarcasm, and poked fun at the fact that we, "Republic" have become a bank and leasing company. If I had my way, I'd be flying at a regional most of my life because I love the type of flying. My arse get's number after 2-3 hours to tell you the truth. I enjoy flying into podunk airports like SCE, and CRW, and LBB. If I could have it my way, I would be doing this job in a turboprop powered by a Garrett TPE-331 and on a mainline seniority list. Unfortunately this isn't the way it worked out. I ask again, don't presume to know anything. We are all on the same team.
The senior captain, air force guy who never flew anything civilian until the majors, I flew with didn't "Get it" just as much as a few of the regional guys don't get it. These guys get out of college and go to the regionals. Where else is there to go on the civilian side? Every time your regional grows 95 percent of "regional guys" take it with a grain of salt. They know that some could have gone to major growth and some is new smaller service. Either way its hard not to get excited about the growth even if some of that growth could have gone to a major that they MIGHT get hired at.
Sorry about the long wind but most all regional guys and gals do get it, there are always a few that don't and never will. Just be careful, from your tone one can see that you think 95 of the regional guys don't get it instead of 5%. Both regional and major guys have the 5% that don't get it. And not one pilot ever inked a deal to fly planes on any route. We call those people management. Keep the team, now more than ever we don't need the "you guys" we need the "we".:beer:
And again, I was there, twelve years at a regional, I know what it's like, and I did all those similar things you did before the Regional, I'm not the guy that was handed my "Major" job. I was implying the way you had stated it made it sould like you were proud of what Republic does or has done, No, It's not your fault, reread your original post, doesn't really sound like sarcasm to me but if it is, Sorry for implying that you were "This Guy". There are alot of guys unemployed and they are going to be more, and if republic eventually puts the F9 guys on the street, it won't be you guys fault (or your management's fault) it will be Southwest fault, Because everything's our fault!
My apologies.

You have no idea what the hell you're even talking about.ultra, good thing nobody on here cares what you think anymore because you are obviously jaded in your pathetic life. We know you want to see f9 fail because they shot you down so get over yourself loser.
Sorry, I shouldve used an emoticon or something. :nuts:
