Who said Eagle has 1% and republic has 7% profit left, ALPA MEC or AE President. Oh thats right, the MEC works for the mgt now, DFR on its way.

Eagle gets 4.5% profit margin and Republic for connection gets 10% profit margin.
What is wrong is you people who pass out numbers have no idea of actually what you are talking about or where these numbers come from.

Lets take a stab. Eagle gets raped by AA on internal company charges on a daily basis where as Republic (CHQ) does not. AE gets 4.5% profit and you said at end it has 1% profit, that means in lay terms 3.5% of the profit margin goes to expenses. But republic gets 10% profit margin and you said they have 7% profit left after expenses which means that expenses are 3%.

So AE has 3.5% of the profit margin in expenses with the AA rape.
And Republic has 3% of the profit margin in expenses without the AA rape.

Seems when numbers are put in place, the BS is easily seen as what it is. You do know there are no financial numbers on AE published anywhere, but Republics is. Do you know why, because AE is a private company and Republic is a public traded company. AE's numbers are massaged to make what ever the point management wants to make.
