Just a quick question: If I remember right, someone told me that the Midwest guys were offered the 190 for their pilot group? If so, wouldn't they have been able to keep or negotiate rates etc. - by looking at their 717 rates, compared to JetBlue's new 190 rates, I would hope that they could have gotten something between Republic, Midwest 717-rates or better (JetBlue new rates).

I'm not trying to stir-the-pot, just understand this situation. And isn't Republic negotiating for better rates on the 190's? I would hope!
