Oh it will be very interesting! Maybe we should wait until the official news comes out. No need to get ahead of ourselves here. This is simply a rumor started in a web forum after all...

Something big needs to come out of this. This company invested a lot of money into various aspects the past year.

Wouldn’t be the first time they lost money on an investment. We’re currently using our excess pilots to cover for other regionals. God I hope we don’t try to fly for Southwest!

Rumors are fun, but mostly just rumors at YX. I wouldn’t worry to much about growth. Our current attrition should keep upgrades around 2 years, or maybe even less.

....All rumors I've heard in the last week. Good ole rumor mill!

Just had the director of flight ops in our ground school today. He said that there are no plans for us to acquire planes from compass. For what that’s worth

He’s a straight shooter, so that’s probably true.

No those were originally suppose to be YX planes. We couldn’t staff them, so compass took them. I think we got them back a year ago, maybe 2 years.
BTW those planes suck!

Republic will not expand out west right now with their current footprint. I believe they would only agree to a western base if they got additional flying. i.e., X airline giving us YY more 175s if we start a base a Z
