Further proof why getting away from AMR was actually a good thing. Up until recently I thought we would have been better off under AMR than AAG. But then I remember that stunt...which was done pre-merger, mind you. I also remember under AMR their single tracked mind about "spinning off" Eagle. It was all they could talk about.
AAG came in and squashed that idea completely and sent Mr. Spinoff himself packing: Dan Garton. Ironically, where did Garton land? Republic. Of all places.
Despite the growing pains we endured shortly after the merger, it should be obvious by now that we are much better off under AAG than we would have been under AMR.
And I hate, absolutely despise Republic management. Bryan Bedford in particular and I make no secret of how I feel. HOWEVER, that is in no way a reflection on how I feel about Republic pilots. I respect the pilots and hate that they have to work under such a sleezy crook as Bedford.
