Republic Amends Delta, UAL Agreements

[Heavy Set]

Republic is swapping 16 or so E170s for E175s at Delta. Big deal. Now there will be 6 extra seats for nonrevs. There is still a limit to the number of 76 seaters there, and those E170s are going somewhere else.

Call a 170 a "regional jet" on the radio and just wait for the crew's response...not that I've ever done that...

We just call them "Mainline Chautauqua".

the only people who cared were the MDA pilots. i'm sure you bruised some newhire's ego, but they don't know any better. they haven't had FI.com to bestow them with infinite wisdom.

Yea, until they announced the buyback a few hours later.

I kinda doubt CO wants a 50 seater ERJ-170.








....waits for someone to flame for... but but but but its no RJ... its an emb jet.... deeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Axel]

No flame here. That was a good answer.

The guys flying 70-90 seat RJ's now DON'T want them either. For anybody. They just haven't figured it out yet

Does that even exist?

 

[BoilerUP]

Does that even exist?

It would if flown for CAL!

Well, I suppose you could pull a bunch of the seats out, make the whole cabin a kind of business/first class. The passengers would love the extra room, although I doubt the economics would work very well.

 

[EMB170Pilot]

Anything is possible in this business right?

 

[TAWS]

This is hilarious - CAL, the major with just about the worst work rules out there, the major where people are leaving to go to DAL, SWA, etc..., the major that buckled under to mngt when there wasn't even a threat of BK ............... is beating the war drums over scope????????

You guys picked a nice time to START standing up for yourselves. You might want to investigate the legislation that AMR and CAL (both from the great state of Texas), slipped into a war bill earlier in the year - it concerns how they can delay/extend payments to the pension fund! You guys at CAL should see the train coming down the track, right at you!

One year from now, you might be singing a different song.

 

[BoilerUP]

Why the joyful noise about the potential demise of CAL's scope? Do you RAH guys really want more widebody RJs flying around, taking away mainline jobs, just so you can keep the upgrades coming?

PLEASE tell me you folks aren't so myopic...

If it makes you feel better, every time I hear about us getting 190s my soul dies a little. Most of us don't want anything bigger than what we have.

I agree that most of your guys are like that, and most have been cool to grab a beer with. That said, I had one of your new hires (former Mesa) on my flight to STL that decided that instead of just taking his seat in the waiting area he would come up to our crew and spout his holier then crap republic montra, letting us know all about how republic is expanding and we should all apply there and that they are taking over the US air 190's.... he also said this in front of some US Airways non rev pilots, which left a pretty bad taste in their mouth too. Anyways, I know its just like anyplace over there where 98% are cool and 2 % are like this dork... but he sure left a bad image about the pilot group they are hiring at RP.

Thanks, I might be giving them a call. Again, nothing against 99% of the republic dudes... just this dbag.

On riding the employee bus back to the parking lot in MCO a while ago there was a Shuttle guy in the back where all the crews ride generally. He was on the phone yapping to a buddy of his about how RP was getting all 170/175/190 and would be flying them for everyone. All of the 135/145's would be gone in two years and this was they way of the company. The look this United FO gave him was one of utter disgust. Every CHQ/SH/RP person I've met were very nice but this guy was the definition of "tool"
