Of course! But what I was meaning is after the 3 Wo'ed are beefed up you'll see a reduction in Republic flying. On the AAG side.

Possible I suppose, but even with the reductions in flying we are still opening a new LGA base to support AE ops and rumor has it JFK is next. 170's from DCA will shift to LGA and more 175's will move into the DC market. MIA looks interesting with a possible satellite base for envoy, which would be good for those guys. My guess however is that it is temporary. We still have another 40 options for AE 175's that could be exercised if a contract passes. That would drop upgrades even more and could make things very interesting.

Then you'll be competing against WO'ed for pilots. Should be interesting for sure.

They figure they got a new crop of pilots that have not learned from the past--what the hay, let's do it again.
Please let that dam place die on the vine already.

The two things the wholly owned operators have to offer is flow that can slow and upgrades entirely dependent on new hires coming in the front door. If RAH gets $40.00/hr first year pay, trip and duty rigs, full cancelation pay, and a quick upgrade on the large amount of aircraft coming to market, I think the wholly owned carriers might find themselves outgunned. And as an opinion I think the final contract RAH pilots vote on will look better than the llllbfo we currently have in front of us. Competition will heat up for sure.

So you think AAG got all 3 of their WOs flow, pay capped just for fun? Only to be out gunned by republic? I'm not raining on anyone's parade but I just totally disagree with your logic here.

It's the same lame-a$$ed play they ran against us when we were Wings West, scummons, flagship, and whatever Puerto Rico was called then. I can't remember. Executive. Ya. That was it

RAH has been paying off debt at an incredible rate They own outright the largest fleet of ejets, which are proving to be the desired fleet type for the next decade and beyond. They support an increasingly large percentage of operations for all three major carriers, lift that cannot be automatically transferred to another FFD carrier. Although the future at RAH is uncertain, I think it is disingenuous to say they don't have many assets. They have more than any other regional, because they own the aircraft.
RAH doesn't own all the 170/175 which are operated by them and their subsidiaries. On the 3Q 10Q they show liabilities (debt) of $2.8 billion against cash of $191 million.
That isn't a fantastic cash position.
