Still talking about a strike, amazing. You guys just don't get it. There will never be an IBT 357 Strike at RAH. Never.
How long has Omni been in mediation? Two years, and that was after two years of direct negotiations. You guys haven't TA's ONE section.
Do you have any idea what RAH will look like by the time you will have any remote chance of being released (2013? 2014?)?
Will RAH even need the Republic certificate after he moves the 190's to the Frontier certificate? How long with the Chautauqua certificate remain in existance? Two large 50 seat CPA's expire between now and 2014.
What if RAH FFD is "restructured" into a EMB 175-170 certificate called Shuttle America? What if Bedford sells the FFD instead of selling the Brand?
A lot can happen in two years, just look at Midwest and Frontier.
