Better get that idea out of your head ASAP - republic is here to stay.
Also, new hires actually have to apply and show up...
AAG will eventually have to acquire another regional to increase staffing. They've said they will themselves. Now rumor over at RAH is AAG is in talks to buy Shuttle America. I totally see this happening and it's a great business strategy. They've already got a MIA base now starting to fly the 175's down towards SJU area where Eagle use to have a base with similar routes. Does that mean Dan Garton (RAH bod) will be back? Is the on a special assignment like Winkley? Can they merge them (teamsters) with our seniority or will they be stapled on bottom? Any thoughts. ..
