Hence why I said theoretically. Either way 70 people are getting p*ssed on by the golden shower that is Bedford

I’m not saying operational integrity would suffer. I agree that bigger bases are more beneficial to the mainline partners. But in this case AA doesn’t want DL to get a MIA foothold at all, and the YX base was the means to accomplish this. So AA removed it.
DL could still do it, sure. But removing YX from MIA makes it much more difficult.

YX continues to put all of their eggs in a non-existent basket. I wouldn’t be surprised if that AA flying never materializes. Again, the those of you even considering YX in the future, expect downsizing and long upgrades.

AA literally has no control over our base structure. Republic is closing it because they know they will need the pilots in LGA with the entire reshuffle happening. If DL told us today that on April 1 they would begin flying out of MIA as a hub with a flight schedule that matches our AA flying, we would keep it open.
The result is that Delta will not have a RAH base to use for feed and all the operational benefits that come with it. Will they still use RAH in MIA? Sure. Now you have to hotel the crews, no reserves available when operational disruptions occur and so on. Does RAH have a MX base in MIA? If so and that closes, RAH will be forced to use outstation MX. Basically chess pieces being moved around on a board by your mainline partners.

Yea.. this isn’t good... been trying to see the upside in the decisions made by RP management. Just don’t see it anymore. We get it, mainline decides who does the flying. But Republic has proven over and over and over they can’t protect the flying we do, the bases we have, or their employees quality of life.

It’s “positive rate” then “gear up” right?
