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?

Perhaps trying to convert Hulas Kanodia to his flavor of Christianity?

I heard they're giving all the flight attendants a pinch hitter course so they can land the airplane too.

I dunno, I heard Ron Jeremy was seen in STL recently. I heard he wants to make a BIG bid. I heard he was gonna teach us how to “get our selves off” the ground. Of course its probably just some big Mouth.

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.

Doubtful Bedford is telling people at Republic he wants to spend time with his 7 or 8 kids. Plus its not a sure thing he is retiring in April, he has said he might, but nothing is definite.

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.
That type of interline agreement is normal in the industry. Delta canceled the agreement a few years ago because American was booking so many passengers on Delta flights that Delta (according to the announcement at the time) felt that it was being abused and was not beneficial to them. Delta has the same agreement with Alaska and United. It doesn't mean the airlines will use it at all times, just that they have the ability.

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.
