I hope the mgmt at Republic is sharting in their pants that their bs business practices are finally being stood up to by the pilots.
You think that a lockout would be an option they would try?
Nobody really knows what the puzzle palace is up to but there is endless speculation on the pilot ***** board. The running theory is they want to cannibalize pilots from the dash and 145 flying to cover the new flying. They simply don't care about retaining pilots that are leaving in droves.
As far as subleasing airplanes, they'll do it if they want. I'm sure there's a nice loophole in our contract that's primed and ready for exploitation. The IBT will then pout and lose in court 5 years down the road.
