Loosing those planes does not affect us as we are extremely short staffed. I'm sorry you guys were in the position you were, and got purchased by RAH. I don't care about your Airbus, Denver or Milwaukee. I do care about making sure this company doesn't continue ****ing us left and right. I hope you understand it's not about you. For the most part being integrated into IBT doesn't change a thing for you as your CBS remains active as do your commitees, and status quo for seven years. Just like RPC, which was an ingenious move by the way.
SSMR,
That is my point. We are loosing money flying them on the branded side, we can't make money with THOSE airplanes in this environment on the branded side. With FFD contracts getting paid to fly from A to B and not paying for fuel you can make a profit. So if RAH doesn't have a contract for them, then we loose money on the leases, etc. If BB could park them he would, but it would cost more to park them than fly them on the branded side. He has figured that out and managed to move the 170s but has no where to put the 145s, thus Frontier Express to start breaking them out.
But most here think F9 is the cash drain when is it really providing jobs for the FFD guys.
