Republic first regional to create B-scale??

[Popeye0537]

Popeye, once again you don't have a firm grasp of the facts.

You do realize that FAPA ratified an LOA that REQUIRES integration and a Master Seniority List, don't you? Sure BB said that he wanted the operations separate, but he says a lot of things, doesn't he?

As for current RAH pilots flying the Q, how do you propose that is going to happen? Vacancy Bid? When was the last time you have had a vacancy bid? Has anyone actually bid the 190?

The deal for the sale of 5 Q's fell through. RAH loses less money to fly a couple of them at a loss than it is to park all of them. It is exactly like the orphaned ERJ's and 170's. They don't want them, but they still have to pay the notes, so they fly them for a loss and the damage isn't as bad than it would be if they just parked them.

They are selling tickets on the Q for flights in November. They will be flown by RAH pilots, only those RAH pilots will exclusively be former Lynx pilots. T

Facts? The fact is that F9 caved in on scope with the hope that you would remain a stand alone certificate. F9's would fly anything that has a GTOW of 132,000lbs or more and not merge with the current RAH list... That was agreed upon with BB so the LOA could be signed.

#2 BB tried to finance a company to assist them in buying the Q's with the thought that he would code share through them. This fell through and now he's stuck with the bill and still needs to operate them.

#3 FAA was on board today and stated that BB is asking to be excluded from completing proving runs with the Q's so he can retain the current Lynx pilots already trained in Aspen, which he didn't think was going to be approved.

#4 Management pilots are being trained on the Q as we speak, so you're right....I think RAH pilots will be flying them.

wow. a regional whore insulting another regional prostitute. what else is new?

Totally agree here. B-scale, C-scale, still a whore. Escort, prostitute, hooker, still a whore. Happy ending anyone?

You do realize that the company that was supposed to acquire the Q's was an European airline.

If Aspen isn't approved that is half the flying that the Q is supposed to do. It is a special approval and only people with previous ASE experience were allowed to operate it for quite sometime. The current requirements include a certain amount of PIC time in the Q, sim training as well as multiple landings is ASE. The transition plan was only presented to the Indy FSDO yesterday so it is a little early to be jumping to these conclusions.

#1. Wrong, again, on every part. The weight is 120k. Scope language, as it existed, was already gone due to YX codeshare and Bloch award. The LOA requires a master list. Have you even read the LOA that you are referring to in this post?

#2. The company originally lined up to purchase the q's was not going to operate in any F9 city. How would a codeshare work if you don't serve mutual cities. (hint, it doesn't)

#3. Heresay, dont care.

#4. Again, don't care.

Back to the OP's title: "B-Scale"

RAH FA's had a B scale (aka Red Circle FA's) until the '05 CBA was signed. I know FA's don't matter; but, just so you know...
