Hey -- those darn Republic guys. They had sooooo much choice in the whole thing. Let's see -- everyone used to bash Mesa, now that they are near deaths doors, we are on to Republic. The return of decent wages and quality of life will come not from bashing each other or even new "super contracts". It will come from all of us uniting behind a common cause and supporting legislation through Congress that makes being an airline so difficult that a true shortage will occur. If you think a new Republic, Colgan, or Mesa (or any other bashee) contract is going to change the industry, check the history books over the last 20 years.

Rant Over!!!
