It appears that if you aren't part of Mana Air, you will be on the outside looking in with UAL.

Mana Air was created for something bigger than just Expressjet in the failure of the Republic deal last year.

Not saying its a done deal. Nothing is in this business. But this is based on things I have heard from several sources, including UAL pilots.

If there is a way for TSH to screw up and get aced out of this, RL and HK will do it. But for now it looks like this could be where we are headed which will be good for everyone at TSH.
