Hey STB,

Republic has done nothing to warrant the name calling. It is not a whipsaw, it is unionized, and is offering MDA jobs. By the way, it was only a 1 year training contract, not two. And why is check airman a "bribe", it's a friggin opportunity, that didn't have to be offered. They don't take, we just staff with our own pilots.
Please save your derogitory remarks for airlines that have earned the label.
Republic has done nothing wrong, but try to get the best deal possible, just like many airlines have done in the past. If you could only see what MDA was asking for, you would not be so quick to speak. I have every respect for the MDA guys. They have been through alot. So come on over at $80.00 an hour as a check airman. Welcome
STB, spread some goodness.
