We all know how well that worked out in the industry, particularly for UAL when the 777's were coming on board.
forumname I have no idea. I'm not promoting it at all. I'd like to see CHQ gain additional 50 seat flying for them but that's the limit of it. I have no idea what it'd take but it would have to be ridiculous. My statement was more along the lines of "everything has a price". I applaud the group for being so fiercely against it especially considering how all the other majors are already doing so. Kudos to those guys.
As far as RAH goes this deal, as it appears, was pushed for getting F9 to agree to the $150million bill they owed RAH and this now makes RAH the largest Debtor in possession for them. This gives F9 more leeway to emerge successfully and positions/protects RAH in the event of BK. RAH will also see an interest return on this money. Considering the market and lack of places to put money BB saw this as a good investment.
