You are clueless.

Thank you for your interest in another line of work.

Sincerely,

Airline Pilots across the country.
One of your posts also from a previous thread. Proves there's no depth to your level of ignorance. Flightinfo.com is a little more of your posting style. For your ease, I've even included the link for you.

Default Sun Country emerges from bankruptcy--ALPA

Guess I'm confused:

ALPA News Release

They're for sale even though they've emerged from bankruptcy?

That's true, but when I have the option, I always take a 767 flight or larger. In fact UAL and AA also both fly lots of 757's to HI, but everyone mentioned, sans SWA, actually sells some food inflight.
I don't care for the single isle for that long of a flight period. 73 or 75.

I'm sure you were joking, but if not....Republic is having troubles making debt payments so I don't think they can buy anyone else. I'm sure the EMB 135's they use on the F9 system are killing them from a CASM standpoint with current fuel prices.

They emerged from bankruptcy, now there is a potiental buyer. I suspect a group of investors or one wealthy individual, not another airline.

Republic will not be buying anyone in the near future. You do have to look at how they are using the 135. MKE-MSN is around a 12 min. flight. I could almost beat the airplane in my car. I don't think placing an airbus on that route would make sense.
