Pay While Training at Republic

[BuddyF]

Do new hires get payed a minimum guarantee while in training at Republic.

1. Newhires from the street get 125 week in training which is until the end of the sim. Start of IOE you go to 75hr/month (prorated per when you finish training).

2. J4J guys from MDA get 75hr/month from day one

3. J4J guys from the APL are just like #1 above

Thanks

I don't mean to insult the J4J guys... but what happened to all the talk about "all or no one"... seems plenty people are coming over.

Actually, you get paid $125/week for the first 30 days, min guarantee after that. It has nothing to do with the end of training or start of IOE. It still sucks, don't get me wrong, but if you get four weeks off from sim check to IOE like I did, it makes a big difference. That was the best four weeks of my airline career (sigh).

O yeah thats it, we did the bridge so we were in and out in 3 weeks so I think thats why I thought it that way.

Hubris is great, until you look your wife in the eye and she asks how food will be put on the dinner table.

My own personal decision to take the J4J post arbitration was that no matter how bad it is I'm not going to give in and let them ("them" does not mean CHQ pilots) beat me to the street. My decision was not based on putting food on the table, I'm debt free, single and no children. I also have a degree outside of aviation and am current in it so I could slide back into that profession if I wanted to.

I actually fully expected to be able to return to Piedmont, but we won't go there.

We've (J4J guys) had a few snags wrt to DOH and DH to and from training and some other stuff but its being worked out.

So here we are, its 10% better, 10% worse and 80% the same. All the CHQ guys I 've flown with and worked with so far have been nothing less than highly professional and pleasure to work with.

With the exception of 5 scabs the ALL or NONE thing held until the results of the arbitration were known. This was the plan from the start. So integrity and honor held with the division pilots. 5 scum bags excluded.

One of those scumbags has 2 kids, one on the way, and a wife that is a stay at home mom. I don't like his decision any more than you, but name the alternatives.

Easy the scum bag could have waited for the decision like the other 250+ pilots, there was no risk. But this scum bag decided to try and get a leg up on everyone else by going first, in an attempt at better seniority.
Do you think no one else has families or bills? Those pieces of human waste did this only for personal gain.
MDA is still operating now, so depending on the seniority of this individual scum bag he would still have a job at MDA to this day. Classes at Republic are going on without 100% staffing of available positions for MDA guys. So he could have gone to Republic at any time.
There is no excuse this guy left MDA for personal gain at the direct expense of his friends and coworkers at MDA. What kind of message does this send to his excuses I mean children. Hey son its everyman for himself so screw them at the first chance. Great guy, great moral character.

This statement blurs the SCAB term far more than anybody calling a Go Jet or Freedom pilot that...

I dont think so, while a agree the GJ thing is really bad and worse than what happened at MDA the definition of scab needs to be redefined. Company's with the help of the Railway labor act no longer need to push the issues to strike, they just start another company, or outsource the flying to another company. The end result is the same, pilots from one company go to another to "better themselves" at the expense of their co-workers.

A lot better pay than what I got!!

$125 a week? Think I made that at age 13 on my paper route.

So I guess we will call all the regional pilots hired post 9/11 scabs because they took flying that used to belong to someone else, right?

You crack me up. A scab is someone who crosses a standing picket line. Anything else is not a scab. When it comes to these "judgement" calls, everyone has their limit on what they will accept/not accept as far as employment/risk/reward when it comes to career and family. What you want to call them is up to you, however, there but for the grace of God go I.
