I get it... recall 96 Republic pilots before the integration is complete so the $23/hr (cheap labor) guys are employeed before any of the expensive 25 year Midwest guys are recalled. If everything is handled correctly Republic maybe able to dodge all the expensive guys.
Rev BB is a smart guy and has had the help of Republics EXCO to reduce labor costs.
Word to the wise. BB will target anyone who raises labor* costs. Don't plan on a career at Republic.
* management does not see itself as labor
