Maybe i'm missing something but isn't USAirways giving Republic something like 40 EMB 175's to fly under the USAirways paint. Why does everyone think that PSA has the upperhand with management by turning down there offer for the 900's. It's obvious "Dad" will go ahead and outsource the flying??
Just a thought.
 
PSA will still get 900s they will just have to negotiate the pay under the existing contract provisions. It will probably end up in arbitration. These are separate to emb175s at RAH.
 
Weasil is right. There are already a few 900s ready and painted. They will be at PSA eventually and unfortunately. I just hope the PSA MEC fights for real wages and duty rigs which would fix our QOL as well. It is only time until we see the post about PSA getting 900s on the property.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but the PSA MEC probably doesn't have much of a leg to stand regarding pay with MESA and Skywest operating them for low wages. Isn't Skywest flying the 900's for the same rates as the 50 seaters? I could be wrong here. Sure hope I am.
 
It sounds like AWAC refusing, PSA refusing, PDT refusing. The wholly owned keep them within really isn't an issue if republic is going to fly 86 seat jets for themselves but under USAir paint

Partly wrong, Mesa flys them, but Skywest doesn't.

You're corrected. Here are some facts: The group (Mainline) is willing and hopeful to spend the money on airframes. Doug Parker said the following words in the following order and they are available for download on theHub: "Gosh, Mesa sucks!" The infrastructure that cost a bunch of cashola to implement exists already with PSA. The control of the product is a hot button issue (how many crews [turds] does MESA have per aircraft, and how many cancellations do they have per day?) What better way to control product with the slightest premium to bringing them on property?

Easy. Give them to PSA... with one unforeseen result from the TA: they didn't grab their 360 hour MAPD ankles. They didn't have such whorish resiliency!

So, you have a group of pilots with ballz, along with AWAC. If you listen to the PSA MEC message, so does PDT.

Fact is, the jets are going to PSA. Facter is, they're not being flown for shyte wages. Facterest is, god dang the cun tract carriers- let's bring the boon of success back to the ones who carried the brunt of failure during bankruptcy. It's about time they invested money in an airline that can't spend it on the competition (yeah, them's US painted planes, but we also fly Delta planes, and AA planes, and UAUAUAUAUAUAUA planes for now...). At any rate, they've stopped the slide.

My hat's off to them.
