Default US Airways/ Republic relationship.

When is this contract up? What do you think will happen when this time comes? Is RAH/Frontier having trouble putting planes on routes that don't compete with US Airways? What's the deal with RAH flying non- US Airways painted birds on US Airways express routes. I can maybe see the ex Frontier 170 with the green interior allowed to be used as a spare, even though it in no way shows it is a US Airways flight, but using a Midwest 170 in CLT is pretty bad and should not have been allowed.

Parker loves Republic. They put up pretty good numbers for rock bottom prices. What's not to like? They will be a part of the US Airways Express system for a long time to come.

What does it matter when they're going to be one company eventually...

Airways sold 190's to Republic, 190's that will possibly be used to compete against Airways. If they were so worried about the competition, I doubt they would have sold the planes to us. There's also a video floating around where Doug is directly asked about Republic's actions. He basically says he could care less.

So what you're saying is Doug has something he cares less about.

Bahahahaha

That one irks me too, no end. Why don't people realize that the phrase "could care less" doesn't mean anything.
