Shuttle/Republic Relations

Nope........We'll let the arbitrator speak for us. Have a great day!

And what did he say?

 

[BR549]

No CHQ pilot wants to see an Saab guy furloughed. We are irritated at our managements attempts to circumvent an arbitrators ruling purely in attempts to see how far they can push us. Let me ask you this, if the Saabs were going away and Shuttle was not owned by RAH, what would happen to junior captains? They would go back to the right seat of the Saab. That IS NOT HAPPENING. The CHQ pilots are not blaming the Saab guys for what is happening. We Cx an upgrade class that members of the CHQ seniority list could have held and then found out that pilots that were not on our list are going to that class. All we want is for the arbitration to take place and then for the company to staff as necessary. If this actually happens, then hypothetically Delta can buy CHQ and just train all of us for the left seat in the 777. Its the same thing.

Every commuter pilots wet dream!
