Republic would VOTE this deal in by 90% if they were giving it. Our contract is still better then most and our insurance even if it double is better then most peoples.
It will pass....... Done deal. I'll be voting a BIG FAT "YES" for it.
I'm with you, as are many others. Sure there are aspects we don't like, but overall this is a better gamble for survival. The changes only come if we see some new aircraft. So, if it's a bluff, it's status quo for us. The flow will still be good for a number of our folks and they will have to keep at least 20 aircraft around so there will be flying for years to come. If stagnation rules the day, it's not like we can't apply to another major or LCC, as the need will be there. Best of both worlds in my opinion.
