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!?!

How would a TSH/YX merger affect the fleets in everyone’s speculation? I can understand RAH wanting to expand into more west coast markets, but I just don’t see why they would be interested in TSA/GoJet...

So that would add essentially 1200 pilots that they don’t need to worry about hiring. Of course this will be drawn out over the years. That’s my guess.

Take this for what it is. Bedford came into an upgrade class today and did a Q&A for about an hour and was asked directly if he was in STL at TSA HQ last week. He said no. Also (as expected) dodged all questions relating to M&A.

Strange how he dodged those questions if there was nothing to hide.

After bankruptcy the big 3, GE, Embraer, and others got a piece of the ownership stake as creditors. I believe they are all probably looking for their pay day to recoup what was lost in bankruptcy. The only way they could do that is to either go public or sell the company. That’s my theory at least...

The old Comair 700s at Gojet will probably end up at Endeavor which may or may not include the pilots. The Gojet UAL 700s will probably be exchanged for more 170s.
