TSA merger
#141
I am an SP (special projects) pilot at TSA. I spend a lot of time at hq. More than on line, unfortunately. Just wanted to give you all a little nugget for your conspiracy theories. I have never met they guy, but his picture is on the wall at Flight Safety. Brian Bedford was in STL this last week. At hq. Coincidence?

Has anyone thought that since B.B. is leaving Republic in April is because he’s about to be the new CEO of TSH? Hulas retires but remains the owner (or his daughter) BB will still be at the controls of republic plus the TSH airlines. I think it’s in the works of drawing down 3 of the 4 airlines to operate under one certificate eventually. It’s not like Republic hasn’t been successful doing it before. While most of us know nothing as fact, I am confident that something will happen soon! Why would Hulas and TSH management spend a week at Republic HQ and then a week later B.B. be at TSH!?!

I accept this twist as highly believable.

I think Delta knew exactly what would happen with Expressjet. It appears that the vast majority of EDV classes are filled into summer with CRJ pilots from Expressjet. They knew it would happen when they established bases where the all the Expressjet flying was lost. All of TSH contracts are not about to expire. I don’t think full list integration will happen. Maybe Compass but I think GoJet certificate will basically disappear as the aircraft are transferred. Once announced pilots will flee like mad just like what happened at Expressjet for the most part. The actual TSA operation is the wildcard that no one knows but I figure it will continue as usual for now. Delta may be primarily funding it but it appears that AA and Delta are becoming business friends. It was just announced that they have partnered with each other to cross book passengers to get them home during weather events or airport closures.
Of course I’m just guessing so pretty much anyone’s opinion could be the right answer. I think it’s safe to say that this appears to be the beginnings of the great regional consolidation of 2018.

A reasonable scenario if, and only if, they merge. BB going from CEO of Republic to CEO of Trans States would otherwise seem to be a step down. Unless the Republic Board is running him out of town on a rail, and there seems to be no evidence of that.
