My guess - and it’s no more than that - is we get a Delta contract extension until the AA flying does go away, and then get sold lock, stock, and barrel to Republic, and Republic keeps the birds and the flying.
It was a six year deal done in 2014, with options to extend. AAG will not extend the option.
I don’t think you’ll be bought at all. I think the AA planes come back, the Delta flying gets pulled back in house to keep upgrades going... and instead of being bought, forcing the new owner to pay high seniority wages, they’ll let it go bankrupt and pick the pieces off that they want for pennies on the dollar. They’ll offer preferential hiring and you get to recycle yourself as new hires saving the companies big bucks. buying it would be the expensive way.
