Look, all the life lessons you need are in Forrest Gump. Remember what Forrest Gump's mama said? "Dying is a part of life." that's how the airlines are, right? These things will happen, but you can't let it get you down or stressed or start panicking. You just got to make the best decision you can in the situations you find yourself in. I know right now it feels like Compass Airlines is like that little boy Forrest Gump on the bus with nobody giving him a seat... "tayyken" they say.... And little Forrest doesn't know what to do.
But remember when Jenny appears? and says "you can sit heeaaa." So, see? it all works out in the end.
We're trying to cheer you up, but right now you're acting like Lieutenant Dan with no legs in the hospital refusing to take the ice cream Forrest got him.
Take the ice cream homie
But doesn’t Jenny catch HIV/AIDS and then dies leaving Forrest all alone?

Sadly, that opportunity may have come and gone. How many regional CEOs have tried to play hardball with Delta and lost?
Delta actually supported Republic Acquiring TSH. It was strictly United that train wrecked that merger.

It doesn’t matter what republic Runs. We have 63 E170’s plus some older E175’s that all have the old processors. We sued Embraer over them trying to stop support of the older processors. It will cost 200K to upgrade each aircraft with new processors, which I think will end up happening over time. All of our planes run the same epic load, so the newer planes are dumbed down. But there is talk that the newest 100 aircraft would be fully upgraded.
As for sim space, Repblic is breaking ground on a new training center and sim facility in Indy this quarter. We have two additional sims being built for us as well. We already own 4 sims, plus these two new ones and then the Embraer sim useage once deliveries start. Between the pilots already in the pipeline and all the new hire classes they have filled from now until December, we would be able to staff any aircraft thrown our way. When I joined two years ago, we had 9.5-10 pilots per aircraft, we currently have over 12 and in that same time frame we added 26 aircraft to the fleet.
And don’t think our lack of presence on the west coast currently means anything. Management has said they want to fly on the west coast. They also know that it is a drawback for recruitment that we don’t have any west bases. The only thing stopping it is they haven’t secured enough flying to set up the structure needed to support it. I however believe they are willing to do that.
