They can barely keep ORD functioning.
Also, what kind of CEO doesn’t want to be on top? You don’t get into that position if you accept stagnant reality and have zero drive for expansion. Investors want returns.

Republic is a very lean (CHEAP)company. The west coast is expensive, and so far away from Indianapolis. I hear BB was in MAF last month, so maybe we’re getting a midland outstation base. Oh and management is saying they expect a big announcement before 3rd quarter 2019.

I have no idea, but from a purely business standpoint, I think this makes sense.
