Ok, if you say so. We'll see how this comment looks a year from now. People who post absolute certainties in this board always get burned.

My predictions are nearly always correct, but as you say we'll see how it looks. But I doubt you will have to wait a year, I was thinking before Christmas at the latest.

Why did you edit his post before you "quoted" it? It seems like you removed the most important part, and now the last remark is out of context.

Just curious.

He's gotta be a politician. :D

Because we've gone round after round about the " fo reshuffle" he has brought up a few times. That's was the part of the post I was responding to directly.

This is not the first time BB has used the fear of bankruptcy to intimidate employees. It has happened before and it came to nothing. Similar to this LBFO, which was supposed to be time critical. Now they are leaving it on the table. Or any of the LBFO's previous to this most recent. It's been all bluffs up to now, and those bluffs have been called. There is no reason to believe this place is headed for bankruptcy unless you are buying into the fear BB is spreading.

Funny that just last year Republic was the #4 most profitable airlines. I;m not sure of they came up with the list, but I guess it wasn't accurate.

Bravo. A regional carrier that finally has some ballz.

More like a Union that that some balls. That's the difference between having a real Union like the IBT and the clown show of an association the rest of us have in the form of ALPA and others.

Republic is going to shrink, and bankruptcy is the tool of choice to do just that.

I don't know what you guys are expecting, but trust me this is how its going to play out.

With or without this CBA that was likely to happen

Let us not forget about local 747 and what happened there before we start singing IBT praises.
