The smaller airline in the US/AWA was/is flying 320's, 73's and 75's. The pay was/is within about $10 of the other carrier.

Republic's pay and equipment aren't even close to being in the same ballpark as Midex or Fronteir's.

AWA may have been a bit smaller than USair in total size, but to say that it's a precedent for this RAH mess is laughable.
