But once again, you had your chance, and you wasted it. Bye.

It was NEVER "one of the best contracts in the business".

The contract was horrible when it was signed. It did enable RAH to undercut other regionals and experience a lot of growth.

It was actually the first non-concessionary contract in the industry post 9/11.

Have you seen the FO payrates in the contract? I'm sure republic got all the 170s because they set the bar high. No way it was because of those horrible FO payrates. Sounds like some of those 170s may be going somewhere else.

They DO keep saying that "something big is right around the corner."
