I don't know what Bedford is thinking throwing this cash around like this. He must think when times turn around he'll be buying his way into becoming one of the largest airlines in the nation. On the other hand, its one thing to operate a feed airline with guaranteed profit and another to actually compete.
I feel bad for you F9 guys who are now going to be just another arm of Republic. If that scope gets thrown out its going to be a massive whipsaw.

How would it even work? Will RAH still be able to keep their lift contracts in place with Delta?

I certainly hope this doesn't adversely affect the Frontier guys (QOL, pay, etc.) Bedford is a penny pincher after all.

That's WHY he can spend money for acquisitions. If he doesn't have to pay pilots squat, he makes more profit.
