Two questions.
1) When RAH purchased Frontier and Lynx, they said that a fleet of 12 Q400’s was too small to keep in service and operate profitably.
Now we have 15 E-190’s, if we lose 3 or more of those 15 E-190’s, will RAH decide to shutdown the 190 line?
2) If we get the raises we deserve and/or want, there has been speculation that RAH may take all of the company or a portion of the company into bankruptcy. The obvious choice between the three certificates is CHQ.
Our contract is between RAH and CHQ. If CHQ goes away will S5 or YX (RP) still have a contract with RAH?
In other news, the Judge dismissed the lawsuit regarding “rahcontractnow” by RAH against the IBT. Apparently, the company cannot claim harm while stipulating there is no harm and continue with the lawsuit. (That’s not a direct quote from anyone)
Now the senior guys are telling the junior guys to just suck it up, life as a captain isn’t any better than that of a junior FO. Even the EBoard VP of 357 stated to a disgruntled FO, “The world does need ditch diggers too.”
Guess we’re going to see what the future holds for us as the company’s response to the NMB is due tomorrow. Maybe we’ll be released by Wednesday. Fun times…..
