Republic!??

[FlyingFarmer]

CHQ Pilots--

So what's the latest with Republic? What are the
feelings of the CHQ pilot group towards this new
carrier?

Thank You.

 

[RUhiring?]

That strange sound you hear is a can of worms being opened.

 

[FlyingFarmer]

uh huh huh.....

Sorry,

I heard this place MIGHT be hiring guys
soon, I don't want to risk pissing someone
off. So what's the deal? I'm getting tired
of working at Burger King. I was just wondering
if this would be worse........

 

[PDTGIMP]

I'm on an overnight in SDF and the ground folks said that Republic was doing hiring here last week.

I thought ya'll placed a clause in your new contract which eliminated Republic in return for J4J....either way it sucks!

 

[dav8or]

Republic may be hiring for ground but all pilots are to come from USAir if you can believe mgt.

 

[CHQ Pilot]

I believe the application for Republic with the DOT said something like 75% of the pilots would be furloughed US Airways pilots. ALPA has apparently said they do not endorse Republic and it would not be a carrier for J4Js in order to keep the flying at Chautauqua. Management has said that will not stop the formation of Republic. It seems that they will find pilots somewhere.

This sounds eerily familiar doesn't it?

Can you say....Freedom


SLC

 

[the turtle]

it's even worse than freedom. At freedom, JO took scumbags from our own ranks to start the alter ego, which, in the end, made re-intergration easier. When this goes away....which it will, I think, you have some messy issues to deal with.

But I'm not suprised by Wexford. These guys make JO look like a houscat. 9/11: fire out of seniority, rehire with lower pay. And recently with the j4j revote, forcing more connsessions down Chataqua's throat...amazing. Those guys have it bad right now. Mesa's contract wasn't consessionary(wasn't stellar, either), but I fear chataqua's will be.

 

[Brother Francis]

No, it won't

 

[Ismokedya]

That can't be said enough.

NO IT WON'T!

 

[adrianh11]

That WON'T happen at Chautauqua!

 

[embraerdriver]

hey turtle boy .......GET A F%^&*N CLUE !

You don't state any valid facts.

Do us all a favor and keep your mouth shut or better yet, KILL YOURSELF!

 

[the turtle]

wow. sorry. What did I say that flamed you so badly? Maybe you could explain it to us.

 

[FlyingFarmer]

WOW!

OUCH!!

That was quite a can 'o' worms
Oh well, I guess I'll cross them off my list of future
potential employers. So...is that the final word from
the CHQ guys on this issue?

----hold the pickles hold the lettuce

FF

ps- Hey Turtle grow a set a nuts
and tell that e-drvr to F off

You don't state any valid facts.

It is apparent from the post that the turtle is speaking from a position of knowledge that is, euphamistically speaking, limited at best with regard to the state of affairs at CHQ.

Whether the assertions the turtle chose to put forth were distorted by design or are merely the the parroting of escalated crew room gossip is irrelevant. There is a basis in fact for the statements in the post, however there are what can only be referred to as "glaring inaccuracies" in the majority of the statements which significantly alter the context of and indicate a profound lack of insight into the true nature of the situation.

Furthermore, the accuracy, or lack thereof, of the assertions put forth in the turtle's "argument" is irrelevant as well. The sylogism that he or she attempted to create to support the conclusion that CHQ's contract will be concessionary is invalid and therefore is by definition logically fallacious.

That being said, it is understandable that some, myself included, might have taken umbrage at the post.

As a statement of pure opinion, absent supporting argument as I do not have sufficient knowledge of the true state of affairs at Mesa, I would venture that the turtle and his Mesa colleagues are anxious for another pilot group to further "lower the bar" so that the attention of their peers will be distracted from the disastrous (or successful, depending on your point of view) outcome of their own contract negotiations.

Despite the precedent, CHQ will not accommodate that desire.

Dam brother, I don't know what the he11 you just said but it sure sounded good!!

There is nothing except an act of GOD that will take away the disgrace the mesa people left behind. CHQ hold the line and don't give in to this crap and if worse comes to worse shut the SOB's down!!!

WD.

 

[lazy8s]

back to the Question....

Republic- Bad!

If you want to be treated the way Freedom pilots were, then get your application in now.

As of yet, there is not a Republic, it is however being formed and opposed.

We'll see..........
