Something, something, Lynx, Colgan, something...

 

[Kaman]

If Midwest or Frontier's pilots experience with RAH is anything like what the future holds for 9L pilots...could be a lean Christmas this year.

 

[outtahere]

Who says w************************* get no lovin'? Hell GoJets, now republic, all the w************************* are making good it seems.

 

[outtahere]

How is w hore on the "words that shan't be spoke list"? Is this place run by Skywest from the Morman temple?? Geesh.

 

[Nightrain_080]

Your condesending tone towards any religion is disturbing. Be it Catholics or Mormons that run it, it's better than trailer trash like you.

 

[bmpilot2003]

Yes we're all Mormons at SkyWest, and I'm going to hold off on passing judgement on ALL republic pilots until I see the pay rates for the Q.

 

[Baronman]

Oh boy...you all need to get yourselves some cancellation pay ASAP......Newark isn't like CLE or IAH. You'll get a day, two days worth of flying blasted off the schedule. It's nice to sit home or in a hotel and get paid $$$$

This coming from someone who's pilot group gets their payrates on the coat tails of the ASA, er....XJet pilots. Now that is funny!

You must walk around the terminal picking fights and giving dirty looks too.

 

[kf4amu]

Piedmont FO's already make more than the 170/175s, so their Q rates better be significantly higher than that...which would be real funny to me.

 

[On Your Six]

I thought Skywest was going to fly the Q's for United? Some of those may head off to DEN like the Lynx planes. Maybe they'll do Aspen (ASE) also? Bummer.


Godspeed!

These airplanes should have just disappeared from the US market altogether... What a joke. The -400's will be the straw that finally bankrupts Republic.

So lets look at some facts here. RAH has Bought 2 failing airlines which they have consolidated into 1 money losing airline (yes this fact depends on what side of the fence you are on). They were the u.s. launch customer for the 170. Operated a small fleet of crj's for a couple of years. Operating with a very angry pilot group 7 years out of a contract. All of this hasn't even come close to bankrupting RAH. Yet you think 32 Q-400's that United is floating the fuel bill for will bankrupt RAH. For some reason I think you are very mistaken.

haha Aspen base!

So who was MidAtlantic? And why are MD/MA still on those tails? Let's look at other facts: the earth is flat, and a sundial pulls a shadow out of the ground because it is tied to the sun with an invisible chain.

If you're gonna do it, go full retard.

 

[MATHEWS]

Hey Sig...

What came first? The 170's that United had the Chautauqua certificate flying (yes I did say Chautauqua) or Mid Atlantic?

I think he was right.....Retard

I think he was right.....

MidAtlantic was operating E170s a couple months before Chautauqua was.

I know, because I was a CHQ intern that summer who helped write the initial CHQ E170 manuals, which were damn near word-for-word copies for the MDA manuals with Chautauqua headers.

I also remember the entire CHQ training department taking a 'field trip' one day from the Production Drive schoolhouse in IND over to look at the very first MDA E170 to fly into Indianapolis.

SUP, Papa Lima?

Yessir, Mathews. That's the point I was making. Here's a factoid: what was mgt going to do to the seniority list about that time?

I only know because I fly with the first CP hired to run the new shell called Republic. Boiler up will almost certainly know who that was, and what I'm talking about.

 

[johnsonrod]

Where will the Q400s operate from? Still from EWR? I had heard a rumor they would be used out of ORD - true or false?

Having also flown on the Q400 as a pax, I thought it was a great ride.
