Question? Why on earth would Delta prop up republic to help provide lift for American and United or vice versa. Am I missing something?

Nope. Not missing a thing.

No you're not. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't. Unless it was like they did with Pinnacle and only kept the Delta lift. That's a lot more complicated than it was when they provided DIP financing for Pinnacle. Only the Colgan side, pre merger, had US Air lift and Continental lift.

Just in case anyone is looking to change careers.

That's kinda like the opposite of what you did. Pay a large sum of money to CAPT/Riddle to get a MD-90 type with the hope of getting a $20,000/yr regional copilot job if you finish..... which you didn't. :eek: :D

Yeah, and look at all the cash I'm making not being an airline pilot and still have a kick ass job and sleep in my own bed every night. Blessing in disguise.

Stick it out, it'll be worth it. $100+k as a 3rd year at a "ULCC F/O", lol, with a lot of time off. (And way more money to be made at a legacy). If you've come this far, now sure as Sh*t isn't the time to quit

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Good to know there is light and you are enjoying life beyond the regionals.

I think he's being sarcastic. Just the avatar makes it hard to take anything seriously when he posts. It's good to have a laughing monkey comedian on here.

Why all the talk of shutdown? They are still making money....what don't I understand?

Selfmade92 07-28-2015 06:37 PM

if the airline would go down, that wouldn't necessarily mean a crazy surplus of pilots, wouldn't a lot of planes get shuffled between other regionals which then have to staff them by hiring the laid off republic pilots?

or does republic own the planes themselves? but then delta etc could pick up those planes for cheap probably and send them to whatever regional?

or do i just not understand the industry at all? :D
