I have never heard of the 200's being on a five year plan. Maybe it'll turn out that way. It seems to take twice as long as planned when retiring an airframe.

Again, just an opinion, that and a dollar gets you a coffee at LGA.

I agree. But how far out are you thinking short term? I just got a feeling that something is in the works regarding them and also GoJets lift. It's nothing concrete. Just a hunch

I'd say until the end of their contract on the Compass 175's, so 2020 or so. If I were going to place a bet on the first DCI carrier to bite the dust, I'd put it on ExpressJet...

Nice. It's been a while since we've had an F-U Friday.

I believe that RAH will come out of bankruptcy without the ownership of Shuttle America nor any of the assets it operates. To that note it seems shuttle America will be Endeavor II. Makes most financial sense. Then we can look for the dismantling of Compass to AA.

Agreed.

All ShuttleAmerica flights in DeltaNet are now rebranded Operated by Republic.

Shuttle Certificate is being surrendered to the FSDO next month.

And 17.35% will be owned by Delta, 25 by AAG and 19.16 to United corresponding to the 10s of millions owed by the claims against RAH for a grand total of 61% of RAH. I wonder what they'll do with it then.
