Because United financed them through a bankruptcy. Of course they have equity. Republic can't just give them a pat on the back and say "Thanks for all you do"...Not the same situation.

I think American owns 25% of Republic and Delta 15-20% as well. You can see how that might complicate things from a control point of view. Then, there’s the extensive AA flying and a fair bit of Delta flying.

I think we can stick a fork in this one. UALs window was prior to the end of the year, and since there was nothing yesterday we can assume there will be nothing until mid-January. Starting Monday the next exodus will begin. Not sure what will be left to staff their “small jet” flying.

You do know a tax plan comes into effect in 2018 benefiting business and corporations... it would have been highly beneficial to both parties to wait until 2018 to finalize or close any acquisition. I never thought any announcement would be announced this year anyway....

They are hitting the point of no return with staffing. They don’t have time to wait it out for a tax benefit. We all see how well the Commutair experiment worked with the equity stake UAL acquired. This all really means nothing. $ now or close the doors.

I said it once, and I am going to say it again. This rumor is a management invention to make those ASA pilots think twice before they leave. Meanwhile people get focus on the rumor instead of inquiring for a new contract.

None of this prevented them from making an announcement before the end of the year. If they were still doing the paperwork and wanted to wait until January to sign everything, they could do that while still telling everyone right the eff now that there would be a buyout and/or investment, with a plan for X compensation and Y career progression.

This is reminding me of the time right after the inauguration when Sean Spicer, Donny's first propaganda minister...I mean press secretary, was asked about Donny's promise to tackle drug prices. He said it was "inoperative". That's what we'll eventually get from ScumWest and United.

Wasn't United supposed to buy us? Sorry, that's inoperative.
