And like I mentioned, he got 2 turnkey operations in the process to help expedite the process of building the Republic brand. Albeit under multiple paint jobs and different companies.
I seriously don't see TSA/HK being able to do this. But even with SKW's strong financials, who are they going to merge with/acquire to be able to pull of what BB did?
Not sure, but with over a Big B in the bank that’s increasing at a solid steady rate, I’m sure they can figure something out. Add to it the assistance of a mainline partner (i.e. AirTran/MKE) and anything can happen.
To be clear I am not in support of this model and I want Mainline Pilots to fight it to the hill. All pilots should join in their support as mainline pilots fight to salvage our futures.
