Republic interested in purchasing American Eagle?

[Downwind]

Took my cousin 9.5 years to finally make captain last month.

10 years to make $80K. That is rough. I truly feel for the guy/gal.

If they do buy them please have these know-it-all Repugnant FO's fly with Tiny and Hounddog (someone who actually killed someone before in his house).

I hope your statement was an honest one. It kind of sounded like you were being facetious. 10 years to make 80 grand as an airline pilot is unconscionable. Plus the 4 years of school prior to that, and we are talking 14 years. Keep in mind the folks now finally upgrading at Eagle were hired well before 9-11 and most didn't come from the pilot factories. Unlike the kids at RAH who have mommy and daddy pay the 100 grand for flight school and a year later they are flying a 50-90 seat jet at RAH and 2 years later in the CA seat.

So for the Eagle folks that have had to endure 10 years in the right seat earning somewhere in the 30 grand range, it truly was rough and anyone in this profession ought to feel for them! Unlike the kids at RAH who do not understand the concept of hardship and paying dues.

So,to sum it up:

Eagle F/O's at 30K after 10 years=good
RAH F/O's at 30K after year 4= bad

No -pair them with some bitter ex-MEH dude instead...And "someone who actually killed someone before in his house) " is supposed to mean what,exactly ? You think somebody is gonna "straighten out" those evil RAH F/O's ? Are they supposed to be scared ? You=joke.

I am just stating a fact, he killed someone. When someone takes your job for the simple fact that you earn 50% less than those you replace you'd understand. Why are you not for cabotage?

He killed the guy that took his job? How is this guy not in jail?

As I said, I truly do feel for them. That's a long hard road for decent pay. My private instructor (1999) went over there after a freight stint and I think just recently upgraded.

Not quite true. Post 9/11 flowbacks are now upgrading and we should hit 2004 newhires within the next 1 or 2 vacancy bids. Not a perfect world, but it's also not only "pre 9-11" upgrading anymore.

You are one of the stupidest posters on this site. You paint everybody with a broad brush, and yet you have no idea what kind of people work at RAH. There are those who fall into the 10% category but most are very professional and accomplished pilots. I am an F/O at RAH, but I can guarantee that my mommy and daddy didn't pay for my tickets and I have worked my way up to my position the old fashioned way. You should really take a step back and look within yourself to find the root of your anger, then deal with it with maturity.
