RAH has been paying off debt at an incredible rate They own outright the largest fleet of ejets, which are proving to be the desired fleet type for the next decade and beyond. They support an increasingly large percentage of operations for all three major carriers, lift that cannot be automatically transferred to another FFD carrier. Although the future at RAH is uncertain, I think it is disingenuous to say they don't have many assets. They have more than any other regional, because they own the aircraft.
