Republic interviewing Midwest guys to give PC's

[Trcb777]

To reduce costs, republic is outsourcing instructor pilots and hiring guys off the street to give pro checks. Its been confirmed at least 2 ex midwest guys were interviewed. This should make for an interesting PC and some revenge for the midwest pilot group. Way to go teamsters, what a joke.

What does the union have to do with instructor or check airman selection? That has always been the prerogative of management. They can hire whoever they want and suffer from decreased morale later.

I understand that, and this is contract negotiate tactic by mgt.

Teamsters is run by "Captain" SH. What is he Captain of? Hegland Airways?

This genius once said this in a blast email:

...Many may not realize that we also created provisions in our contract that allowed our pilots overall to realize earnings that were the highest in ALPA last year for narrow-body domestic aircraft. The fact is these earning exceeded the abilities of some wide-body pilots at other properties.....

and then this doozy (in hindsight):

...We created a fundamentally solid 1st agreement in 2000, with provisions that many mature contracts are without.....

Great scope we had SH.

No Midwest guys are going to be in the training department. They interviewed a few but they either declined the job or were not offered a position.

They're "overqualified".
