LOL Well it is a 747.:D

its not funny because we all know you're not joking.

This maybe a Delta/Republic/TPG partnership. Why would Bedford cross a major customer? Is Republic going to own 50+% of the final airline?

I'm thinking that could be possible too. I was reading about F9 in the financials around May there was a story an analyst did giving viable options for Frontier. One of them was to expand into MKE.

As it stands RAH will own 100% of F9 currently. Maybe they can sell their majority stake at a profit and keep 49%.

deleted for my own good.

no one knows how this will all play out in the end. They may just sell the assets, return the aircraft to the lease holders in bankruptcy, and sell off or use the name. The f9 pilots are by the balls on this one. their choice is bankruptcy where their contract will be re-written to favor republic or give voluntary concessions to the same tune.... its not going to be pretty. Or if bedford is planning on keeping f9 to get them into bankruptcy protection where they can go after their employee contracts to make this jumble of carriers more cost efficient and take down all of those pesky scope clauses ....

You would think that this would HAVE to be an asset grab due to their current CPA's and contracts. I know CAL is small potatoes for CHQ but they will be pretty ****ed if they keep it operating as a seperate entity.

And you work at Republics.... 70-150 seat mainline replacement service for 20 bucks an hour. Your point?

on second thought maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut..

please. life is too short to be worried about flying 16 more seats for only a few dollars more. Now if my regional was thinking about flying Airbii for 23 bucks an hour, then you might have a point....
