What about the gluten free birds? The keto birds?

I’ve been through 2 bankruptcy's. I can recall feeling the same way during the Pinnacle bankruptcy with the net loss of airframes and the real threat of a shutdown. I remember reading many such posts from ASA and Skywest folk about receiving extra flying at another’s expense. I’m not going to lye, it angered me. I’m not sure anything can be done about it. In fact if we’re Compass receiving good fortune at another’s expense there would be some Compass pilots making those same insensitive comments. My point is, no pilot group is immune

Hmmm. I’m sure the keto guy over at 9E has a recipe.

- Smash two handfuls of cooked cauliflower rice together.
- Sprinkle with quinoa and flaxseed.
- Leave that junk on the counter.
- Go to Angel Food and get a scone.

Who said I want to see Compass lose their flying? I would rather us all be flying these planes at DL/AA/UA, where they should have been placed to begin with, but I can't change the history of pilots selling out other pilots.

But face the facts, you don't own the flying. Republic doesn't own the flying. We are ALL pawns in mainline's games. If you don't like that, then go somewhere where the company signing your check also sells the tickets. That should be the goal of all of us.

Didn't compass bid on the United 175 flying? Would you be upset if Compass had won that flying? Because after all, you would now be stealing that flying from Gojets, YOUR SISTER COMPANY, or Mesa. What about all of the Mesa or Gojet pilots RIGHT NOW that are in limbo waiting to find out their fates?

If the discussion is going to include information that is factually wrong, I'm going to correct it. Unless you would rather keep your head in the sand and just hope for best.

The fact is, Republic is staffing for a major expansion and we just firmed up our order for 100 new aircraft with deliveries starting in early 2020. Scope is maxed out, the only way we expand is by taking over/bidding on other's flying. The only way anyone expands for that matter is by taking other's flying. Am I happy about that? No. Do I have any control over that? No. Today's posterchild can be tomorrow's Dumpsterfire or vice versa. Republic could be right back where it was a few years ago.

Saying it can't happen because nobody could staff it or that there is no sim space or because epic loads don't match, is nonsense. Which is why I replied what I did. If mainline wants something to happen, they will make it happen. United buying expressjet should be all the proof needed to show mainline is going to do what is in the best interest for mainline when it comes to their regional feed. Only time will tell, if that interest will also have been what was best for Expressjet pilots.

I never claimed Compass is going to lose their flying. All I did was state facts in response to comments made about Republic or that contradicted what's actually happening here.

I've also posted in the compass forum from time to time for a while now. I've followed both threads for the comedic relief they supply. I would gladly fly along side you guys and would rather see a merger between the groups rather than Republic just be awarded the flying.
