Republic/fronteir rediculous pay

[ASABound]

When are the Republic / Frontier guys going to stoy flying a mainline aircraft for Turborprob wages ???

 

[starchkr]

When all of the regional pilots understand that lower wages for a faster trip to the left seat doesn't do them any good. This includes someone who uses ASABound as a name...

 

[GuinessGuy]

I thought the "real" Frontier guys kept their old pay...........at least until the "list merge"

Lower wages certainly don't mean a faster trip to the left seat.

I'm looking forward to getting on with negotiating a new contract that isn't from 2003 and that's been expired since 2007. So to the OP, believe me, we're all tired of it but I'm betting it will still be 3-4 years down the road till we have a TA that's acceptable.

Maybe their pay is based on a spelling test.

Don't forget to mention that the 2003 contract was negotiated when the biggest plane on property was a 50 seater. IMHO, 3-4 years is optimistic. I'm not sure that Republic will ever see a new contract. I think there's a chance the company will be out of business before a new contract is signed.

Funny. I also know of another guy (POP I) that cant spell worth a sh! T!!!

However, the original poster is right.

WE, at F9, do have our original pay back, with tiny increases. It is our OLD rates, thus lower than should be. I am not happy at all with those rates, but the majority of my team-members (UNION INCLUDED) are happy and content. I lose that battle. I for one would like to FIGHT for better rates.


CYA

Probably about the same time you stop flying the routes real Delta and United pilots used to fly in 737-200s, 727s, DC9-10/30s....

A few turboprop operators' pilots make more than rah pilots...flying an airplane half the size.

The only domestic turboprop operator with CA payrates higher than RAH on any airframe is Horizon; their Q400 CA rates are higher than RAH E135/140/145 & E170 CA rates...from their 2003 contract. The E170 and the Q400 have a similar amount of seats, so that's really a wash.

All 30-50 seat turboprop CA operators pay lower hourly rates than CHQ's E135 CA pay...from their 2003 contract.

Talking FOs makes your point a little less ridiculous; Horizon Q400 outearn RAH FOs in every year of longevity, with Piedmont higher the first year & at parity the second year, trailing every year thereafter. Mesaba FOs also make more in their probationary year than RAH pilots.

Of course workrules can play a major role in total compensation...but comparing pilots with the same longevity, the only turboprop pilots that make more than RAH pilots (who are working under a 7 year old contract) flying an airplane "half the size" of RAH pilots are Mesaba & Piedmont FOs on probation.

As soon as ASA pilots stop doing the exact SAME thing at Air Mekong in Vietnam...............

I have personally volunteered to forgo all monetary compensation in exchange for a herd of unicorns and a lifetime supply of gumballs and sour gummi worms. The company realized cost savings will allow the company execs to purchase a ten-foot subway sandwich for all the corporate worker bees to claw over.

 

[Captain Morgan]

I get paid in sugarless gum.
