And where were they supposed to go? Republic just saw 50 planes for growth, while shuttle has been stagnant as hell. The real answer is to get a merge done, yes, but share the wealth a bit. The only way it would really unfairly hose 100s is if they open a DEN base, which they haven't announced and isn't a certainty.
