Which is absolutely meaningless until they are sitting at YOUR ramp in IAH or EWR with your butt attached to that seat!

United can still have Qs, but nothing says they have to be at Colgan. Have you seen the windown agreement? While I haven't, there's no doubt it gives United the flexibility to find another Q operator (my bet would be Commutair) to slowly start taking deliveries with financing from Bombardier/United and at cheaper rates than Pinnacle Corp. That's the whole point of a wind down agreement, it allows the legacy carrier options to find new regional operators with a reasonable timeframe.

Also, your scenario needs to have numbers attached to it. 31 Qs, minus 31 Saabs, and then the potential plus 5 Qs. I still count a negative 26 aircraft.

Dude we are NOT in a winddown agreement, get your Almighty facts straight. Commutair will not be getting our Qs.

Its YOUR ramp also

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing. Shy, you're my brother (or sister). You don't have to like me but you gotta love me.

ShyGuy... It's not your flying,

it's your attitude.

The enemy's dangerous, but right now

you're worse. You're dangerous and foolish.

You may not like the guys flying with you, they may not like you

but whose side are you on?

GoJets of course....

Much needed levity, LOL! Thank you sir (or ma'am). Oh and, fixed it for you.

Everyone is detracting from the original thread topic. The original poster asked about Republic vs Colgan, and we would be doing him a disservice if we didn't at least bring to light the fact that the CEO has mentioned all our props are running on a loss, and if we don't come to an agreement with United, the Colgan flying could be cut. Nothing is official, but the OP needs to know that.

You are correct but you stated that as fact in your first post... Again.

Republic may be losing some CHQ flying too on the CO side and Frontier and they have furloughed the past 2 winters... It is a total crap shoot
