all good points. Thank you.

Republic is huge in ORD. Seen the stinger lately? YX tails all the way down the alley. They're 40% of the 175 traffic right now. Maybe gearing up to take over when we furlough or something.

I dont know, seems like a stretch to me. Envoy has what, 30 more planes coming with the 20 from Compass and 10-11 still sitting in Brazil? The bid seems to be placing a lot of OCL's.

Perhaps its just a coincidence or AA is throwing them a bone because they have lost flying with the other carriers. I dont know, just spitballing here, you could be totally right as well.

I genuinely have no idea, but I know my reaction was anxiety after having watched Republic kick Envoy out of NYC over the course of 6 months. Envoy had flushed 2-300 FO's down the NFE toilet in the classes leading up to this, too.

At least we'll always have DFW... right?

Envoy is a cancer to aag.
envoy is at the bottom of every aag list for flight assignments.
remember republic pays more for its pilots and aag covers the cost us a 6 percent guaranteed profit margin for republic.
you know how stupid aag and aa senior management are, they are talking about putting the IFE's back into to aircraft.

It’s been that way ever since dougie took over.

Cyio

Yeah I suppose I could see getting nervous as well, forgot all about the NYC stunt and as far as DFW goes, nothing is off the table.
AAG owns 30% or so of Republic so they are not going to just let them die or languish. In terms of how we rank on the totem poll, we are the bottom but that is because we are cheap and a good backup plan if everything else goes south. Given we dont have to show a profit so to speak and that our budget is set in advance by AAG, we can cover things others won't. I still think it sucks, sure would be nice to have a decent bid packet once in awhile, especially given we are typically doing very well by all the metrics that matter.
Well as expected, DP's summer plan didn't work out very well and I would hope his time as CEO is coming to a close. Not that the next person in line wouldn't be the same way, but at least DP would be gone.

wow.

YX in ORD is temporary. Those exact words came straight from our CEO. It’s probably just a byproduct of the NY market being so depressed lately. If there’s one thing Republic has proven over and over is that it hates Chicago and would much rather put all their eggs in the NY basket. I wouldn’t worry for one second if I was an Envoy pilot.

Looks like YX is going to see cuts just like everyone else. They won't have a 40% pilot furlough, but I a sure that they are looking at cuts just like we all are.
