When in doubt, blame the IBT!!!
Also, I'm just as interested in a divorce as F9 pilots are. Have you seen any real evidence, besides corporate propaganda, that this will occur any time soon? It seems like the timeline for a spin off gets pushed back months at a time.

How is OUR amalgamated contract coming along?
So, what do you have to say about SWA and Airtran doing the Apple flying for USA3000?

We just saw what happened to Comair. Hope for the best but be aware of what can and will happen. The writing is on the wall. Good luck to all.

Yeah it doesn't shock me the whole other airlines bidding on American flying thing. I mean doesn't us air have wholly owned regionals and others that fly for it? What about Colgan flying beech 1900s out of laguardia For continental in the late 90s while there was continental express? Being owned = nothing

Most of you are byproducts of SJS, and deficiencies at realizing your own self worth. That is the sole reason Republic has grown over the years. Cheap labor.
