Now he is out of amr/aag again last time he went to Continental then came back to replace martens at eagle. He now is at RAH. garton always ends up back at the fold unless he can run the show himself at rah then he will be pushing for a merge with a aag owned feeder or consolidate the non mainline owned feeders in to one of three main large regional corporations and dictate to mainline. These same mainlines did the same thing years ago to PAN AM and TWA and forced them out of business.
There were 10 large mainlines now there are 3. Just an opinion
Could happen. I suspect there will be a lot of consolidation in the regional industry just like at mainline. Everybody read the writing on the wall when Anderson was hired at Delta too.
As I said, could be something, could be nothing. Time will tell.
