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.

So this waiter who was making $20,000/year, took a course in computer programming and after 3 months, got offered a starting salary of $1000,000.

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.

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?

We're parking airplanes because we can't staff our flying. We can't attract fresh meat with our outdated contract. Once airplanes start getting parked, pilots get furloughed. It's difficult to attract new pilots when you offer no future. It's a crazy cycle that's difficult if not impossible to stop. More and more pilots are going to leave which results in more parked airplanes along with downgrades and furloughs. Company shrinks to oblivion, CEO walks away with millions.
