Republic (Chautauqua) to fly 170s for Delta

[WyoHerkdriver]

Does anyone know what the minimums are to apply to Republic? I think it would be so cool to tell everyone I know that I am a Delta Pilot flying the "big" jets. Also, is it true that the pay is actually $20 an hour? Wow, that is a lot of money isn't it? I might even be able to afford an apartment with three other Republic pilots. Anyways, if anyone can tell me how to apply to Republic, I would greatly appreciate it!

>>I am sure that you guys will give those Chittyoawqoiuqwopriuiqp (however it is spelled) 3 year Captains a nice welcome at your ramps in ATL and CVG.<<

Who said they were coming to ATL or CVG? Dont they have to use jetways? Even if they do, that would be interesting. We/they have no jetbridges. (i guess they could use stairways of some sort? although that would mean a complete new set of challenges for the ramp. 20 minutes after parking, "Ops, we need a stairway at stand 33!", "Copy"..!) And would they fit the new parking scheme anyway?

Is the RJDC going to sue CHQ now?

Thats a good one Launchpad.

CVG has plenty of gates in the A Concourse that DL mainline hardly uses.

ATL could be more difficult.

So when do you suppose the furloughed guys get back to DAL now? 2008? 2010? 2015? Well CHQ congrats but you can bet these eyes will be squarely on your pilot group's actions in June 2007. The question now is how soon until the rest of the majors cave on 90 seaters as Cactus has. Anybody got the number for that truck driving school?

Well ok, I guess this is how I see it now (especially after reading mgmts remarks on ASACONTRACT.COM). We have no control over who gets additional flying in the future. Even if we cave in on our next contract and give mgmt their "zero net gain contract", that would not assure us of any growth.

So really the only thing we can control is what we get on our next contract. Therefore, we need to support our negotiating committee 100% and get everything possible we can on this next contract. And I mean INDUSTRY LEADING!! WITH FULL RETRO PAY!!! And I'm willing to shut ATL down for a while if need be. (See how big D and ASA mgmt like that when we're the only feed running 400-500 flights a day out of ATL). We might as well accept the way the industry is now and just make the best of what we can control.

We need a good, no, great contract NOW! Especially if I'm gonna sit right seat for another 4 years!

Just my thoughts after the recent events.

oh yeah, congrats to the Rep/Chq guys on the additional growth. Yall just drive the bus where they tell yall to just like we do. No hard feelings here.

No one realy belived how mad Eagle pilots were when CHQ/TSA took all the AA feed in STL. Now maybe you can live a day in our shoes. Im sure they will tell you it was there TWA flying anyway... but its all the same. Our Eagle contract says they will agresively seek more flying. But when CHQ can under cut Eagle's 16 year contract, then you guys are out of luck.

But all in all, dont get mad at there pilots, get mad at Delta managment. After all they are the ones calling the shots.

Congratulations...

Welcome to the family **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**aqa. With that said, don't expect to be treated as such. We will forever know who our true bretheren are and who aren't. Let the family feud begin. And now I'm going to be sick!

I think Greenjeans said that they plan to do more pt to pt with new route structure. I think you will see these planes on routes where B6, & UAIR will use their E-jets against DL. They will be used defensively. You may also see them go after AirTran at first in Buf & Rochester on the direct flts to Florida.

That won't get us anywhere. Stepping on people on the radio and giving them dirty looks in the terminal won't solve the whipsaw problem. I resigned long ago to giving CHQ guys the benefit of the doubt. It is obvious now that the cat has come way too dangerously out of the bag with the 70 seaters. I fully expect CHQ guys to do something about the compensation next time their contract is due. Anybody with any respect for this job should.

How many seats does the DC-9-10 and DC-9-15 have? Anywhere close to 90?

Wow what a nice Christmas present for you ASA and CMR folks. I am sure that you guys will give those Chittyoawqoiuqwopriuiqp (however it is spelled) 3 year Captains a nice welcome at your ramps in ATL and CVG.



It is interesting to me that when Mainline furloughed its pilots...over 1000 of them...the WO benefitted. CMR and the RJDC (i believe) snuffed their noses at the furloughed DALPA pilots! ASA graciously offered some of them employment.

NOW...as predicted by many old timers on this board...the @#$%^&* has rolled downhill and is directly affecting some...NOT ALL...but some of those same people who were dancing with glee around the furloughed DALPA pilots.

Do you really think DALPA will give a rat's butt about CMR and RJDC now?

Has poetic justice been served? only time will tell where the rest of the 70 seaters will go!

GO CHQ and ASA!

The guys who founded the RJDC were supporters of the PID (merger request) which would have resulted in all Delta flying being performedby Delta pilots.

Don't paint the RJDC with this brush.

Ok so the DC-9-10 has seating for approx 80 in a one class config... and the -15 seats around 110.... We're getting close to those numbers now with the E170 and E190. Does NWA still fly DC-9-10s? How are their pilots paid?

Is this some kind of freakin scam??!?!??!???? F-you CHQ!
