The word is out. That RAh is losing all or part of the AA contract, so all you want-to-be 175 pilots, your dream won't be a 175 it will be a q400 so enjoy.
 
Keep the seat warm

The flying is coming back to L-eagle where it should of been all along, enjoy it while you can.
 
Interesting. I wonder if this has anything to do with RAH suddenly reopening contract talks after IBT national replaced the NC.

What is the reason for losing the contract?

Is because of operational issues or because they cannot get enough pilots?

Also, any truth that RAH is folding their Q400 feed for United out of DEN?

Just curious, thanks!

If there are articles like this that pop up again this winter, you may be on to something
 
Naaaahaaa,
No pilot shortage happening, its oddly, kinda funny. The collapse of the regional industry is slowly gaining momentum. I will enjoy watching the various regional executives standing on the local freeway onramps with cardboard signs that say, "will screw pilots for food".
While we may feel some pain, I am sure that there is no market for their level of incompetence in the free market. Stupid and mean are not qualities that most employers look for.

Stolen from the Skywest SAPA forums:
Attrition rates:
"Past 6 months 87 pilots or about 1 leaving every 50 hrs
Past 3 months 55 pilots or about 1 leaving every 40 hrs
Past 1 months 25 pilots or about 1 leaving every 30 hrs
Past 1 week 9 pilots or about 1 leaving every 20 hrs"
 
There is no truth to this rumor.

The newspaper links are > 6 months old and have nothing to do with this at all.

I can't even say "nice try" as you didn't even put in any effort to support your rumor.

Total troll.
