You got that right!
Lynx pilots will be integrated on paper soon, but implementing that may take years right? Contracts, single carrier status etc.
Ok so the Q's continue but do you really see BB training RAH pilots to fly them? I know what your contract says but he seems to do what he wants anyway, 99 seat 190's anyone?
Any serious thoughts on this?
On another note, we were told RAH was trying to get an RJ approved for Aspen. Skywest does with the CRJ 700 but to runway 15 only with a max tailwind of 10 kts, and I've been told below 500' AGL they have to land, no go aound.
The Q can circle to 33, and we have balked procedures for both runways giving us a serious advantage.

I don't know why BB doesn't just leave the lynx cert there and keep it flying. Why put it on Republic? What's the advantage of this, sell the lynx cert?

Having worked with RAH flight management, there is no doubt in my mind that nobody in that department bothered to crunch the numbers or even had a ******* clue one way or the other until the deal was already signed. These are not what one would call "deep thinkers".

BB told us after the auction ended he planned on merging Lynx onto another certificate because it was too costly to keep. Then they found out they had to do proving runs etc to do this which they felt wasn't worth it financially. Now they do a 180 and say they are doing the proving runs to merge Q400's onto another certificate... and then grounding the planes after half a year? Sounds stupid... cause it is.

Further proof RAH management has no clue how to run a real airline. Buying Midwest and F9 was brilliant from a business standpoint, but they forgot to add people who actually know what they're doing from an operational standpoint. Regional management trying to run a real airline = circus.
