Republic's aircraft aren't even close to being in the same ballpark as Midex or Frontier either. Why would you make the mistake and assume that the pay RAH has on an ERJ-135 would be the same pay someone would get on an A320?

That's exactly what I said, pay and equipment.

That's why it's not precedent, as you said.

The original poster asked if there was precedent of a smaller A/C operator aquiring a larger A/C operator. Other than the handful of 330s that USair had, the two operated virtually the same fleet.

Thanks for backing me up.

Bad communication on my part then. I thought his reference was into a small airline, ie number of frames, purchasing a larger airline. Aircraft size is kind of arbitrary in my mind when it comes to this.

Ok.........but.....

Doesn't Republic operate a heck of alot more airframes than both Midwest and Fronteir combined? By almost a 3 to 1 margin?

From MEA council 30 fastread.


Finally, today we filed a new Section 1 grievance due to the fundamental change in our situation associated with the introduction of the E-190s and the scheduled total replacement of Midwest operations by Republic.

Also RAH completed its purchase of Midwest today.
