If BB thinks he is going to compete to the west coast from MKE against Southwest and Air Tran ,even with the 190 he got another think coming.

I find it funny that is all you can really say about the post.
As for being good for the industry. I feel it is better than the alternative. Days of regulation are over. Living like it is still regulated is over. Just look airlines are flunking. They are not capable of running efficent and profitable. The real issue is not being able to adjust ticketing prices with the the rise and low of fixed cost. It takes weeks to accomplish when it should take minutes. Airlies seem ok with losing money.
No let say southwest comes in an outbids and gets approval to purchase Frontier. Do you think they want to run the airline seperate or merge. Not a chance. Competition is needed.
I am tried of how someone is trying to get to the legacy or major carriers. Well those ideas andrntalities are one reason the regional airline is the way it
is. The truth behind is those days are over. Places are seeing guys stayin put. I think QOL and not shiny new jet or big jet or banging a light attendant in Dublin. QOL.
Leave it to RAH. We will vote only an acceptable contract. That is all the power we have. Until you see it. Shut the **** up. We are living to our current CBA. You and your cronie that compain and call us a disease. Feel free to email those concerns to RAH and you can do that via rjet.com.
As for now I am sure there is more errors so if that is all you have to day dot waste your time. You aren't putting me down except maybe to the Expressjet guys

Like I said, the 170/175, in my two years of riding on them to and from work, didn't have any more overhead storage issues than a 737 or DC-9 series airplane (US Airways, United, Northwest, Delta, etc).
Obviously, others' experiences my vary...

I just want to know if we are going to hear any objections from Republic pilots flying the E-190 with the word Midwest on the side. I think the Midwest pilots deserve your respect. After all, you are taking their jobs. Look out F9. You are next.

Bottom line is the RAH croanies are happy about this. You dont hear them talking about furloughs or downgrades do you? But you know what those who take shortcuts in life always end up getting theirs.
COME ON SWA!!!! Sit back and watch SW dismantle RAH and with any luck the RAH clan can feel some of the pain they have inflicted on worthy Midwest families.

RAH essentially filled in the gaps in the Midwest fleet, and is going to continue to do so.
