June will be interesting month at Republic
#31
You think Bedford has done some AMAZING things....Yes I have to agree...He has taken two good airlines and DESTROYED them....He is SO arrogant, he did not need to rely on any of the employees of either airline. Have any of you looked at his resume...He has NEVER sold a seat on an airplane...He recognized and exploited the fee for departure business for years, now that that side of the business is over..he has NO idea what to do....My only HOPE and DREAM is that his next job is running the lav trucks, and his supervisor does not train him...so he gets a face full of what he is full of.....rest assured.. Republic is OVER....for those still there, good luck in today's economy trying to get a flying job...especially with the reputation you will carry with you...

After what happened to Midwest i am bitter towards Republic and sincerely hope they go Chapter 7. Would love to see Bedford handing out flyers at home depot or selling encyclopaedias door-to-door.
Saying that fingers crossed some other company buys Frontier or they get sold and operate independantly again.

Listening to some of BB speeches and interviews, I'd say he thinks he has reached God status.

You can be sure, whatever happens to RAH, Bedford will come out smelling like roses and with millions of $'s in the bank.

It was said in the conference call and the meetings in Denver, but he also mentions it in the same letter....
"What we didnt report was that the 17 E170s and the 13 E135/145 regional jets we fly under the Frontier brand actually lost about $15 million."
And
"We also announced a revised CPA agreement with Delta, which will allow us to move the majority of the E170s from loss-making flying at Frontier to profitable CPA flying with Delta. Thats a good outcome for everyone. However it doesnt solve all our network and fleet challenges. We still have to reassess our E135/145 flying and also reassess how we manage our network in Milwaukee."
The remaining three 170's in the branded op will be going to the UAL CPA.
The 135/145's are becoming "frontier express", and will operate on a pro-rata agreement between chautuaqau and frontier airlines. This move doesn't save money but it moves the branded loss over to the fixed fee side.
Brand will only operate 320, 319, and 190's.

The other 10,000 people at Republic appreciate your kind wishes. Do you really think Bedford would be the one hit hardest if that happened?

Of course not, i don't wish any pilots or employees at any company ill-will, I have friends there and they feel the same way about their management and most are on their way out to something better. I would gladly help any pilot there try to get something better for themselves.
If you hold hopes of a job at one of the few remaining jobs with livable terms and conditions you would share the desire for a scope side-stepping, poverty wage level providing company that already destroyed one decent airline (Midwest) and now has another (Frontier) in its grips to suffer some setbacks on its quest to transform the North American aviation industry into $23/Hr pilot positions.
(Rant over.)
P.S FWIW not affiliated with Midwest, Republic nor Frontier.
