How about Lehman brothers and Bearstearns in 2008.

Haha touché! You are absolutely right. If RAH collapses financially Iike those two you mentioned, I can't imagine the ripple effects it will have on the regional airline industry. This is a very big regional airline we are talking about.

Seabury Group are the people who ushered Pinnacle Airlines into bankruptcy court. The Bob's are conducting office audits. Good Luck

They will probably count the beans and say..."you dumb-asses negotiated these contracts with razor thin margins" and "there is nothing that can be taken from the labor" and "you can't afford a deal with the pilots"

The bottom in the race to the bottom may have been finally found.

Their at least a year from bankruptcy right now, but I think if the NMB does release the pilots (Next Week?), then bankrupcy is very likely. They have the money, but BB is very spiteful, and will not let the pilots win. S5 will most likely be sold first, and that will create a huge mess with their seniority list. Not sure how IBT would fix it.

Is there a possibility of being released as soon as next week?

Or someone could pull a Delta-Bendover-Peanuckle and bail them out, just so the lowest bidder can stay alive to keep downward pressure on regional wages. However, Delta did have that clause in their contracts which forced everyone to nearly match the lowest bidder.
