This is very interesting:

"Also, mainland routes currently served by Republic subsidiary Shuttle America will be operated by Go! beginning Thursday. The routes are mostly in the Midwest."

Is this a misprint?

Yes they are! Anytime you fly for those wages, I don't care if your flying a 74-400, if your making 60 bucks an hour doing it, you are flying for a regional.

Read the same article too. It seemed strange how it was a fairly exacting statement from a reputable article. There wasn't any other text that made it seem like it was misstatement of facts. Interesting...

What's up with Go! doing Republic flying in the midwest? Is that actually correct? Recalls on the horizon with that news?

What does the logo on the plane look like? To which ticket counter, in which city, do I go to purchase a ticket on a republic flight?

Only when it is republic dba republic ... Until then... walks,talks, and looks like a regional, must be a regional, albeit a big one, but a regional none the less.

Is it even possible for GO to do flying for Shuttle on the main land? How exactly would that work since Shuttle flys for mainline carriers and isnt its own branded operation.

We've got a good "ship" though, because the naysayers claim we've been sinking for 3 years now.

Just admit it: BB jumped into this, it wasn't fruitful and he's now getting out. Mesa will benefit by carrying their passengers on the CRJ's and the caravan's will resume flying.
Good ship? You must be pretty senior there hauler

Maybe they'll fly for the Midwest brand, do it cheaper, and put "connect" on the side.

I'm not. You missed my point.

I was implying that I have been told (by people working at other airlines) we are days from liquidation for the past three years. Pretty ship? Not at all, but we're not taking on water as fast as everyone else would like us to.

No...it's not possible. I'm sure peeps will get excited about it, but it's not possible.
