Lynx Becoming Part of Republic
Lynx certificate is being merged with Republic. Guess Aspen and Q400's
are sticking around. What a joke the RAH management is, they can't even shut an airline down, never mind run one.
Also,
whoever wrote this:
"As a RAH pilot, I could care less about the addition or subtraction of a single destination. I'm tired of the LYNX sob stories.. the reality is that people were booking away from your beloved Q400 and booking on an RJ. And while I'm at, where do you guys get off thinking that you deserve anything other than a staple to the bottom. Probably 90% of the people at RAH have been on the list since before LYNX even existed. Not to mention that LYNX has brought absolutely nothing to the table."
I hope you are enjoying all the former Lynx route structures.

How are loads at Republic? I tried to book a Midwest, I mean Frontier, I mean Republic E190 flight the other day 10 days out just for kicks and final price was 6-800 dollars non stop one way.

I have no clue what you're talking about for starters. Bedfords original plan was to sell the Qs to some startup company to fly the same routes under the frontier name as a codeshare. That company was still seeking capital to get started though. IF what you're saying is true and hes bringing the Qs back on property, then his original plan obviously fell apart. Bedford is the bad guy here. Not RAH pilots.
As far as frontier loads, they're at 90%+ right now. That side is still losing money, but its not due to loads.

I saw a press release from a friend that the Q will be proven and put on the Republic cert. 2 lines of flying to aspen, durnago and somewhere else. Hoping to have it running by october this year. RAH pilots will staff it.

As far as who will end up staffing those planes, nothing is set. Lot of things can still happen

In the near term if the Lynx certificate is dissolved and the Q's are placed on the Republic certificate then Lynx pilots would be locked out by the Republic scope language until the SLI is completed. No one can fly an airplane on republic, ****aco, or shuttle certificate unless they are on the master seniority list at RAH. As crappy as that is now in the long term it keeps the scope language at RAH intact. That is a good thing for everyone long term.
The lynx integration comity will hopefully include this development in their final brief to the arbitrator at the end of the month for SLI. It would IMO help their position for integration.
