Can someone explain why we are all spun up over Republic Air Lines Holdings? If they did not perform the flying some other third party vendor would fill the breach. The flying would not come back to us. We dorked that up when we divested Compass.

If it were up to me, I'd rather change the agreement that is making Alaska the fastest growing Air Carrier on our Continent.

The most important next step is to get our MEC on board with the idea that Delta pilots can operate the E-Jet TYPE, to get our group on board with Delta pilots performing Delta flying (not just the flying that requires 767's or larger).

Unless we "own" the flying, what is the point?

This is a sincere question, maybe one of you can 'splain it.
