Default Mergers

I said long ago that the regional industry would eventually consolidate through shut downs, buyouts, consolidations and mergers. We’ve seen a few shutdowns get accelerated due to Coronavirus. This industry wide slowdown provides the perfect opportunity for them to right size the mothership.... but don’t think for a second that it stops there.

my recommendation would be to spool up the mergers committees on all three WO’s and get those guys trained at National.

Do you ever make a single post on here that doesn’t start or end with “I was right about x, y, and z? Obviously an economic downturn is impossible to avoid.

I heard they nominated a mergers chair on our last MEC meeting.

Is that your way of telling MEGA that Cujo was right?

No, it was my way to tell I believe the union is getting prepared for it.
Cujos predictions have just been common sense. He might be wrong about who actually will merge though.

Will be interesting to see. Might be some savings to be had with a merger, but without some fences, there will be a huge churn of training and associated costs. Of course Envoy is already looking at a lot of training costs if they park more 145s and end up with mostly 175s.

Regionals have been reliably merging/shutdown since the mergers of the legacies.
predicting more doesn’t make you a prognosticator but instead a student of current events.

I think we've crossed that fence.

Piedvoy has always been obvious from an economic standpoint. AA doesn’t take its responsibility to shareholders very seriously though.

What was obvious to shareholders was AAG effectively used one WO regional to drive down costs at the other two.
