SKW didn't get the flying because we wouldn't bid into a money loosing contract. RP pay is less therefore they underbid. That's cool it's business but I'd rather keep pay and QOL as opposed to lowering it for more flying.
We won't know if our decisions were good ones for another 3-5yrs. I hope our decisions workout for us both, I truly do.
You're kidding, right? SKY didn't get the flying because they didn't have the ability with Embraer for this order nor the relationship with AA. It's comical how you talk as if management called you and told you the reasons why you didn't get the flying. You really think Republic is going to lose money on this flying that for now will end in 2027? Seriously? They bid this accordingly knowing that someday we will have a higher paying contract. Common sense.
