Regions Air????

Many things may change very soon as we are in the process of being sold to an airline investment group. They are interested in bringing bigger airplanes. Again, right now, F/O pay depends on flight time: 1000-1499 = $17/hr, 1500-2000 = $18/hr, 2000+ = $19/hr. The contract on the table begins all F/O's at $19/hr. Our saving grace is that upgrade is usually less than a year.

Who is this "Airline Investment Group?" and what's up with the F/O pay? Is it $17 or $19?! Is the Women in Aviation Orlando date for Feb.?

Who is this "Airline Investment Group?"

That is the $64 question. It may be old news, but the CEO was acting as the intermediary between the Teamsters and this supposed Airline Investment Group. The Teamsters wanted to make sure they were bargaining for a contract with a real entity, and even agreed to sign confidentiality agreements. To no avail, the CEO would not divulge the "investor's" identity.

Caldwell will still be running the airline when this Five Man Mongolian Cluster Fvck comes to a messy climax, and the Pilot Group will be there with a mop and bucket to cleanup, just like with the Saabs.

Best decision

I am having an interview IN NASHVILLE,TN with a new Chief Pilot @ Regions air.
1380TT and 125 MEL. Will be staying in the Marriott Hotel @ BNA and having the interview with her and DO over breakfast at my hotel. No sim ride due to shortness of time to training class. Tell me all both good and the ugly! I have read the previous 40 some pages!

Anyinfo on the interview. Though, this one will be more on the side of non-structured form.

Thanks,

After reading all these posts,the best decision is to NOT even go to this interview!!!! It does not make sense to allow yourself to be dis-respected,degraded and insulted on a daily basis,not to mention being taken advantaged of.There are other companies out there!!!!

Dude, you are one gullible, worried what everyone thinks of you kind of guy aren't you? Have you lost your mind? Do you often have nightmares about operations/airlines. I know Augusta Aviation is some sort of demon for you as well. Settle down Francis and don't believe EVERYTHING you hear.

 

[Smiliner]

Wow.. that went from 8 months to 12 months in less than a month.. At that rate, when a new hire got there, the upgrade could be something like 2 years..

I was wrong. As of yesterdays upgrade awards, it's at 9 months. Still better than the upgrade time at Regions.

There are a few occasions that people have been insulted but not many.

The Sked often is disrespectful of one's need for quality time at home and quality rest. Not so much the scheduling department, but the way the lines are written. Not so muchly different than some other regional airlines that only gaurantee 10 days off per month.

The pay scale is degrading-no one can argue that!!! But as far as I know there are only two line pilots left that were there when the pay freeze went into effect so everyone else has willingly allowed themselves to be taken advantage of. Hence the large turnover on the FO side of the seniority list-they get a raise going to another regional, a year later as second year FO somewhere else they are making more than a Regions Air Captain.

Regions bills themselves as a stepping stone. The word of advice that I would give is that if you want to go to a stepping stone, that stone should be solid at least as solid as anything can be in this industry. It should also provide some compensation for longevity.

Regions Air fails both of those tests.

As thinking people you are free to establish your own criteria...

Did you just say poon? Outstanding.

Yeh, it's a great word..

 

[Way2Broke]

Yeh, it's a great word..

I would tend to agree.

 

[Tram]

Well, atleast we agree on some things..

AMEN!!!!!

Not so fast there, Taildrager. Wasn't there one pilot who let himself get insulted, disrespected and degarded on a routine basis by one of the FA's? Of course this was all off duty when she carried a riding crop and a wore a biker suit. and behind closed doors of course. Came back to work he did with his teeth smashed in and clumps of hair gone from his head!

It is a privelage and honor to make the 655th post

i admit, the crazy captain from HI coined that phrase, but he'd never post it.
