you're talking about a company that had 100% cancellation pay, never deadheaded us, 2/1 duty rigs, allowed us to slide vacations 3 days in any direction, hotels that weren't near the airport, etc. That more than made up for the poor compensation, which was heading in the right direction.
One of your captains, I think his initials are TE (KC based guy) told me that Lynx guys should have been stapled to the bottom. Pretty sure that's a reflection on the rest of your pilot group
I'm glad you were thrown some bones, but your late, unlamented 70+ seat payscale is public knowledge. In the hands of RAH's management crew, it could have done some real damage.
Lynx was a small core of good folks who signed on to a bottom-rung compensation package in the hopes it would become something better. It didn't work out for you. While you have my condolences, this in no way makes you unique, or deserving of special treatment. I was hired by Republic not long after Lynx started flying, and it wasn't my first rodeo either. Your company was acquired by RAH while I was on the street, and the IND boys were busy explaining why they couldn't afford to pay me or several hundred other new hires. The eventual seniority list put the majority of Lynx's new hire F/Os above me, had I chosen to stay at RAH. At no point did I share your peculiar form of bitterness, because none of the above was within any pilot's sphere of influence.
The fact is, Republic pilots mostly range between welcoming to ambivalent on the topic of Lynx. Even if they
did have something against you, their opinions withing the RAH framework are irrelevant. Your enemies are the criminals with the seven-figure compensation packages who actually had discretion over the life or death of Lynx. As long as you've chosen to wallow in your persecution complex, you could at least direct all that blame somewhere productive.
Oh, and that bit with anecdotal semi-cited statements somehow applying universally to thousands of people? Are you just reading from "Baby's First Book of Logical Fallacies", or is this actually how you've decided to live your life?
