This situation happened during the Shuttle America/Chautauqua merger. The company was moving Embraer 170 pilots and airplanes from Chautauqua to Shuttle America before the lists were merged (it was in the arbitration process). Shuttle America was parking Saabs thus putting themselves in an over-staffed situation. Instead of furloughing them, Wayne Heller started putting the most senior Shuttle America pilots in class to be E-170 captains. The Chautauqu union went nuts saying it was not fair, it was a violation of scope, etc. The Shuttle America pilots didn't see anything wrong with it as they were still working for Shuttle America. Wayne's response was basically this is where they will be after the integration anyway so no harm, no foul. The arbitration ended up coming out before these pilots ever hit the line so half way though training, they were then told that they are now training to be E-170 first officers. Yes, the Shuttle America pilots were pissed. The only difference between this situation and now is Chautauqua was hiring at the time. My point is your management at Chautauqua does not respect your scope. Especially the part about only Republic pilots will fly Republic airplanes.

Shouldn't this be on the regionals board?

Would you call Frontier and Midwest regionals? How about the combination of Frontier and Midwest and adding Republic's 2000 pilots and 215 airplanes.

Republic isn't an airline, it's a holding company..........

"Republic Airlines" is an airline
"Republic Airways" is a holding company

Unlike most airlines...the airline name, paint-scheme, and call-sign don't really matter because they are all flown by pilots on one seniority list.

This is unlike Frontier and Midwest who allowed management to give away their flying to regionals flown by pilots on a seperate list (i.e., Lynx and Skyway).

This belongs in the regionals section. RAH is not an LCC or National.

RAH = Republic Airways Holdings

RAH now owns and operates two LCCs (Frontier and Midwest). That is why it is in this forum.

Frontier and Midwest are operated as separate airlines, they are not regionals. S5, RP, Chitaco are all regionals, live with it. Engines under the wing does not make your airline a major either. SJS lives on.
