File this under the "how are the loads this holiday weekend?" file: just came off a three day, 7 leg domestic trip. Mostly coast-to-coast stuff at all hours of the day and night. Not a single seat available on any leg. Two were oversold in a big way. If we're not making money, we're doing something wrong.

I guess that book ALPA peddles called flying the line - which documents this very practice - which I mentioned - and you belittled - IS FULL OF CRAP TOO. Typical alpa.
Hey SLOW, If airlines have lost more money than they've made, a term related to (if I recall correctly) the 3rd law of thermodynamics - Entropy. Why are they still in business?
Let me let you in on a little secret - they have made money and been able to show losses. Depreciation and lease expense are some pretty easy topline writeoffs.

Oh, and thanks for the accounting tip SCAMbo (capitalization is fun, no?
). You might want to write a "Touch and Go" for your co-workers explaining those terms...

Probably made the evacuation much quicker and easier, but I swear it looks like people took luggage down the slide.

Regarding RAH and a scope grievance, how is RAH/Frontier any different than AMR/Eagle? You code share with Eagle which is owned by AMR. In addition, you own CMR....I guess that makes the a single carrier with you two.

In answer to your psuedo question: no it doesn't because we haven't been declared a STS for pilot integration.

2. Informal To discard (something) as unwanted or burdensome : jettisoned the whole marketing plan.

Domestic Alliances
We have entered into a marketing alliance with Alaska Airlines, which includes mutual codesharing and reciprocal frequent flyer and airport lounge access arrangements. Our alliance agreement with Alaska Airlines provides for extensive cooperation with respect to our west coast presence.
We also have frequent flyer and reciprocal lounge agreements with Hawaiian Airlines, and codesharing agreements with American Eagle Airlines (“American Eagle”) and Hawaiian Airlines. These marketing relationships are designed to permit the carriers to retain their separate identities and route networks while increasing the number of domestic and international connecting passengers using the carriers’ route networks. (page 3)
(page 4 under Regional Carriers)
With the exception of American Eagle and a portion of the flights operated for us by SkyWest Airlines as described below, these agreements are capacity purchase arrangements, under which we control the scheduling, pricing, reservations, ticketing and seat inventories for the regional carriers’ flights operating under our “DL” designator code, and we are entitled to all ticket, cargo, mail and in-flight and ancillary revenues associated with these flights. We pay those airlines an amount, as defined in the applicable agreement, which is based on a determination of their cost of operating those flights and other factors intended to approximate market rates for those services. These capacity purchase agreements are long-term agreements, usually with initial terms of at least 10 years, which grant us the option to extend the initial term. Certain of these agreements provide us the right to terminate the entire agreement, or in some cases remove some of the aircraft from the scope of the agreement, for convenience at certain future dates.
Our arrangements with American Eagle, limited to certain flights operated to and from the Los Angeles International Airport, as well as a portion of the flights operated for us by SkyWest Airlines, are structured as revenue proration agreements. These proration agreements establish a fixed dollar or percentage division of revenues for tickets sold to passengers traveling on connecting flight itineraries.

What makes it different is RAH was ruled a single transportation service by the NMB for the purpose of integrating their respective seniority lists in to one. If AA and American Eagle are declared a STS for the same purpose and integrate their seniority lists then I would say they are the same. That hasn't been done.
In answer to your psuedo question: no it doesn't because we haven't been declared a STS for pilot integration.

b. Bryan Bedford is the Chairman and CEO for all of the Carriers. He is also the President of RA, Shuttle, Chautauqua, and Frontier.9
c. Robert H. (Hal) Cooper is the Executive Vice President, CFO, Treasurer and Secretary
d. Wayne Heller is the Executive Vice President, COO for all the Carriers.
e. Ron Henson is the Vice President, Labor Relations

4. Marketinga. RAH holds out to the public that the Carriers are part of a consolidated entity as shown at its website, Republic Airways.
5. Schedulinga. While RAH’s business model is one that includes both “fixed-fee” and “branded” operations, its operations are consolidated and “branded” operations are commonly-scheduled under the Frontier brand.
i. For example, the route map available at Frontier and RAH’s websites provides that: “Flights are operated by Frontier, Lynx, Republic Airways, or Chautauqua Airlines.” In addition, RAH’s subsidiaries are presented on a consolidated basis for both financial reporting and operating performance. See Quarterly Financial Statement, August 9, 2010; September 2010 Press Release “Republic Airways Reports September 2010 Traffic.”
a. This type of consolidation of senior managers, personnel functions, and labor relations are often indicia of single transportation systems. See Atlas Air, Inc./Polar Air Cargo Worldwide, Inc., 35 NMB 259, 269 (2008) (single system found in spite of separate operating certificates due in part to substantial overlap among Boards of Directors and senior managers).

When you look at it you truly struggle how anyone could say they're not STS- period?
