Not sure how many, but the rumor is it's a good amount...good news for a few guys here!!
It's great news!! I'm not furloughed, but I don't think the guys are too wary about it. Financially, Mokulele is definitely more secure than Midwest, but we'll see in 6 months where they stand. I don't see the Hawaii flying as a huge risk...but, what do I know??Sounds like good news!
I would be a little wary of coming back right away while the company has airplanes dedicated to Midwest and Mokulele (sp?), though.
Republic isn't ALPAYeah, good news. Isn't Republic the airline that's flying the trips caused by the Midwest Express furlough?
Yeah, congratulations for stabbing some ALPA brothers in the back.
V....why would you say that? We found out about this flying the same day that the Midwest pilots did. How the hell am I stabbing these guys in the back when management set this entire deal up without obviously including the pilots.Yeah, good news. Isn't Republic the airline that's flying the trips caused by the Midwest Express furlough?

No ####. I guess that makes it all right. Republic guys just lowered themselves to GoJet status.Republic isn't ALPA![]()
What are they supposed to do? Quit because of a contract management imposed? They aren't flying struck work, they aren't crossing a picket line.No ####. I guess that makes it all right. Republic guys just lowered themselves to GoJet status.
Excuses, excuses. Good luck getting an ALPA jumpseat.V....why would you say that? We found out about this flying the same day that the Midwest pilots did. How the hell am I stabbing these guys in the back when management set this entire deal up without obviously including the pilots.
You know what, this has been beaten like a dead horse...I'm out.
I don't know. Refuse to bid Midwest flying? I guess that would be too much to ask. GoJet pilots didn't cross a picket line either.What are they supposed to do? Quit because of a contract management imposed? They aren't flying struck work, they aren't crossing a picket line.
It sucks but every regional is doing this in some form or another.
I use an ALPA jumpseat 15 times a month going back and forth to work. You're way over the top on this one.Excuses, excuses. Good luck getting an ALPA jumpseat.
I don't like this situation anymore than you do, Velo, but it's not the fault of the RAH pilots. They've done nothing wrong.Yeah, good news. Isn't Republic the airline that's flying the trips caused by the Midwest Express furlough?
Yeah, congratulations for stabbing some ALPA brothers in the back.
Definitely not the case. GoJet is a completely different situation.No ####. I guess that makes it all right. Republic guys just lowered themselves to GoJet status.
EXACTLY. Thanks for your support WacoFan. Republic is a good pilot group and we really hate to see what's going on with Midwest. Hopefully something better will be sorted out...The GoJet pilots made a choice to accept employment at GoJet knowing the situation. The RAH pilots did not, they already had the jobs and this was a deal management put together. I liken this more to the UPS/AStar-DHL deal. The UPS pilots didn't cause it, it was dropped in their lap. Am I reading the situations correctly?
Now V, you may not care about what I'm about to say. . .BUT here goes. . .No ####. I guess that makes it all right. Republic guys just lowered themselves to GoJet status.
That's 14 people who will be earning a salary again, especially in this economy right now, that's better than nothing. Good news.Back to the topic...it appears as if it's only around 14 recalls at this point. Not a ton, but still good news.
