Not trying to call you out specifically, but keep in mind the thousands of normal, everyday, just trying to pay the bills, people being affected by this mess.
It's fun to think of BB and his cronies squirming in their boardrooms, but the top folks have earned enough and they'll have a soft landing wherever they end up. The real folks suffering from the horrible mismanagement may be forced to start over and deserve our help and support.

One of RAH's mainline partners should purchase them and give RAH's pilots a no-interview, guaranteed flow to mainline. That would instantly solve RAH's staffing problems and help their ontime performance which is good for mainline.

Looks like the beginning of the end there will be a bankruptcy filing or sale/merger within a year. I have friends at RAH and wish them the best but honestly it's not looking too good for Republic right now.

Why would they do that? They expect Regional pilots to hop-scotch around to the next "IT" place like PSA chasing the cheese. It costs them a lot less money!

I imagine because they have a lot of assets that the mainline needs for now (2000+ qualified pilots and 200+ jets)

This is going to be really bad for regional and LCC pilots.
There are going to be a couple thousand pilots out of work and looking for a job. The entire "pilot shortage" thing will be gone instantly. There will be no need for bonuses or pay raises, as all of the Republic pilots will be flocking to the other regionals.
If all of the seats in a new hire class are full, there is no need to raise pay at the bottom.
Why would SkyWest, Envoy, PSA, Piedmont, Endeavor, etc... do anything different if there are suddenly a thousand applicants. That will keep their classes for the next 6 months, and they will be happy.

You might be able to staff some of it with the Republic pilots, but most of them won't start over and only 50% of the jobs will be captain spots.
