Yea I think what it boils down to is cost. Bedford even said exactly that in his Memorial Day update. Our partners are happy with our performance but still concerned with our high cost. Which doesn’t really make sense considering most of our competitors contracts are very close to ours now in terms of pay, benefits, etc.
Unfortunately Republic is and always will be the northeast regional that can’t seem to protect the flying we do outside of the NY market. RPA is a great place to work if you live in NY or one of our massive outstations, otherwise it’s probably not worth commuting for anymore.
