Likely, US Airways will create some flying for Republic. Republic management helped out Airways management in the past, and I would expect the favor will be returned.

For the past year or so, I kick myself everyday for having not gone to Pharmacy school...but nooooo I had to be a pilot :rolleyes:
.. oh well. Maybe it is time to go back to school. |

Agreed. It is unlikely that we will see an increase in flying. Frequency will have to decrease, e.g. regional flying. Ticket prices will rise and the white trash vacationers (see: mullet and wife beater) that occupy our cabins will once again be financially ousted from air travel. |
I don't think this will be the case. I think they'll find homes but that's quite a tall glut of airplanes at once. I don't want to see our aircraft flying routes at the expense of mainline flying but with three of our codeshares royally ticked with mesa maybe we can find a home at their expense and get the hiring going.
Yeah, I'm being optimistic. The road's going to get bumpier before smoothing out. |

I believe this has been coming for some time because it was a bad contract that was negotiated by the last CEO that had us paying for all their fuel costs. I personally will miss Republic, good people and airplanes that served our product well, just did not serve our bottom line and it was time for it to go.
