So, that leaves you with the Republic certificate. Republic is where most of the growth is obviously going to be happening, so I'd imagine most people will be given the option of Republic.

I know you guys are getting your jobs taken. It sucks. Just remember that none of the pilots at RAH made those decisions. We know it sucks and don't wish harm on any pilot group. With that being said, let's try to act more like professionals when encountering eachother.

BB wanted separate pilot lists so he could get the whipsaw in action.
It's clear you don't know very much about the entire process, so maybe stay out of the conversation until you do. Move on. Thanks.

I know one thing, that as long as your airline grows at the expense of others because of your low cost contract you yourselves will one day go by the wayside when the next guy comes along willing to work for 36 dollars per hour. Just look at Comair. They grew at mainlines expense and when they became to costly the flying moved on to the next lowest bid. But maybe I'm wrong ,maybe their will be no one as foolish as you to sign on to 37 dollar twelve year copilots. You just keep thinking you did the right thing, the rest of us know otherwise. Oh and I already moved on, to an airline that pays its pilots well, has rigs, great work rules, etc. etc. Your welcome.

Word on the street he is asking $100M for the whole Lynx package, which is way too much. He is afraid if someone buys Lynx, that they will use and expand Lynx, competing with him. He knows what the Q can do, and he is afraid to sell it to someone. The only place I see the Lynx Q's flying, is overseas.
