No, but if RAH can convince another one of the mainline carriers that if they can dump the Delta flying, it will solve their staffing problems quickly, I could see a situation in which either UA or AA throws a ton of money at RAH for them to dump DL flying.

Don't waste your time with him. He knows it all. Never mind that Republic was solely responsible for those planes and had to continue all payments on them. It was just a mirage that they were sitting in PIT on unused gates.

Does everyone feel great about convincing new hires that everything is peachy like always?

Funny how many times my "predictions" have to come true before you all stop convincing pilots to go places without giving them the full picture. Hopefully prospective new hires in this industry will take this to heart when they try and shift through the realities of what they will be getting into.
