I don't recall sitting in my 68 seat jet thinking how wimpy and demeaning to my station in life it was. Sure, I thought a moving map would be nice, but never did I possess disdain for the notion of flying the likes of a stretched executive jet with all the bells and whistles. No need to thank me! Clearly, the collective legacy crowd had no vision for the runaway potential of the farm team operations. We are guilty of allowing our union to represent divergent interests, much to our own detriment.

The Company is negotiating an amendment to its contractual relationship with Republic which as currently proposed contemplates further reduction of aircraft operated by Republic on behalf of the Company...The Company has taken various actions to mitigate the effects of this reduction in flying, including by adjusting its mainline schedule and seeking additional capacity from its wholly owned regional subsidiaries and other regional providers."
