Republic interested in purchasing American Eagle?

That may be but they are still making better money doing that then your 190 drivers.

I do not, nor have I never flown for any Republic Airways Holdings airline.

I just like pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of a pilot whose group was among the very first to put immense downward wage pressure on their peers by flying larger airplanes for no increase in pay in blasting Republic pilots for their wages...set in a long-expired contract that went into effect in October 2003.

Steveair wants to compare RAH's 190 rates that were set in 2003 to JetBlue's rates set in 2009....but that's much more of an apples-to-oranges situation than a comparison of Comair's CRJ70 rates the day Skywest pilots started "70 seats for 50 pay".

"Lowering the bar" cuts both ways...

one list required by RAH CBA

So, Frontier and Chataquah are under one list with the Republic pilots?

republic, shuttle america, chautauqua are already one list, frontier, midwest, and RAH groups going through merger process now, so yes, Frontier and Chautauqua will be on the same master list

Ask the Midwest pilots that question.

Are the former MidEx integrated yet?

come on in and buy us Eagle

average senority of a eagle pilot is 10 years, and that is for a F.O the average for a captain at Eagle is 18-20 years, so who is up for merging, anyone, anyone at all, please stand up. lets play

That might be interesting.

Actually, the average longevity of Eagle pilots is 10+ years.

Does longevity equal seniority? If you have longevity, then yes. If you have seniority, then no.

Either way, RAH is not going to buy Eagle, and the absurd comparison of longevity does nothing but fan the flames of FI.
