What will Republic do with their big C-Series CS300 Order?

[Plug]

blah blah blah same old Jenny shet, copy/paste

Actually, what GL pasted is quite true. UAL is already bumping up against the block hour limit. That limit tightens as time goes on and they replace the 50 seaters. The overall outsourced UAX operation will decrease by roughly 200 airframes in the next few years while mainline continues to grow (I love seeing those blanked out XJT tails parked on the ramp in IAH). At UAL we are adding 20 more 737 NG's by summer '15, keeping more LUAL 752's and 763's, and are actively pursuing either the Ejet or Cseries for mainline service. We need to hire at least 1300 pilots in the next 18 months (I believe DAL and AA are in the same boat). Scope limits aren't the real problem, pillaging the regionals to fill mainline seats is becoming the problem. The Military hiring pool is starting to dry up so now we are hiring mostly from the regionals. It wouldn't surprise me to see flying that could be outsourced come back to the mainline in the next 5 years.

So you may not like GL but the UA, DL, and AA/US pilots are standing together on this issue.

Hope so, many of us are counting on it. As far as Jenni, she's really just a weirdo sitting in a cubicle out in Utah land, and a putz. ��

Very true. DL is hiring 165 this month because there are 5 Mondays (33 in each class). I wouldn't doubt the Regional airlines will be struggling big time in a year or two, and I bet the legacies will target LCC pilots (especially if they directly compete with them, like UAL targeting F9 pilots) and also the Regionals of OTHER legacies. (They may not want to take pilots from their own feed, just a guess). It's gonna get interesting.


And Freebrd is very frustrated, and I think we all understand that. Hopefully he improves his situation.

Damn that's a lot of hiring, good on ya! Our management is still trying to play catch up as we are just now going through base re-balancing. SEA is closing in March '15, DEN will be reduced to a mostly 737 base, and all other bases will continue to grow. Guess we'll always be 2 years behind you :laugh:

It wouldn't surprise me if we ink a deal with an ALPA regional that is currently flying the Ejet as a flow partner, especially if we get an EMB airplane.

Again, you never add anything of substance. Would you care to give your own opinion, backed up with some facts? You can't, you don't know how. DL's scope clause is clear, nothing over 76 seats, and that includes anything with a specific weight. (Can't fly a plane designed with more than 76 seats and only put 76 seats on them). There is also the part about any DCI carrier adding any larger plane, loses the DCI contract. Sooooooooo, that would include Republic, and their only exception was the "Frontier exception" when they owned them, which they don't now.

Oil is dropping, meaning it's tougher for management to negotiate any concessions from employees. IOWs, it ain't gonna happen.

So genius, give us your opinion on what may happen with those Republic CS100s. Do it, I can't wait.

Dude, the crj 900 was designed for more than 76 seats,
It's called a 90 seater for a reason

Thanks Dude! Not all planes are configured to max capacity without "first class", well, except your Corndog cattle cars. Now I understand your confusion.

88 717's, 88 717's, 88 717's, General has to repeat that constantly. It is part of the rationalization process. He knows what he did (scope relaxation) is wrong and desperately needs a excuse to justify his actions.

Uhhhhhh, I'm happy that DL mainline pilots are taking routes back via those 717s. That's a good thing for everyone, unless you're an unhireable RJ pilot. Those types done want to hear what's going on, and don't want to start over and lose their left seat. Well, things are a changing, and hopefully many Regional pilots will understand what is going on and send in their apps NOW, instead of waiting too long and finally getting hired at the end of the hiring wave. Good luck to you.

And he counters with more rationalization.

It's called reality. Deal with it.
