Republic Airways buying Compass Airlines
 
I just got a call from a flight attendant who said they announced to the Republic Airlines Crews that they were buying Compass Airlines. This announcement was supposedly made on friday.

Any Republic people heard anything about this? According to some Compass pilots they said Compass cannot be sold. looking for some confirmation here.

Never believe a rumor from a flight attendant. Never believe one from a pilot either.

An FA? You shouldn't believe all rumors and from an FA to boot. With that being said I see the possibility of bankruptcies, mergers, and acquisitions in many industries not just aviation (Insert a voice of sarcasm).

Our company does not bother telling us what they are doing ahead of time, until you see a press release, this is just another unlikely rumor, and coming from our FA's..that just makes it less likely

You know...sometimes when I have a cold I say "Emery Board" like "Thomas Kincaide"

Just thought you would like to know that.

What about Repubic?
