Great post.

There is something we can do about it though.
We can force our union to acknowledge that Republic is flying in violation of our scope clause. They have been ever since they bought Frontier but we will have another shot at "doing something about it" in the very near future.
The NMB is about to declare that Republic is a single transportation system (duh). This would be a real good time to finally file that grievance and shut down the codesharing/subsidizing that goes on with Republic/Chautuqua/Shuttle America/Frontier/Midwest/Lynx.
