Maybe I am wrong, but I think the Republic Flying (no matter what spin you put on it) is supposed to be flown by Delta pilots.

Perhaps, instead of DPA ... dare I say, Teamsters?

At least they have this unity and unionization thing down cold. They fight to UNIFY their pilots while ALPA has fought to keep Delta pilots separate from 50% of Delta flying.

Just curious what others think. Not trying to get anything started.
