I’d say 10 years ago this would have been impossible with the bad blood and all but I feel like most of those guys have moved on, they’re relatively new pilot groups. I’m guessing it’s going to be business as usual, maybe TSA separate to let the 50 seat contracts die out.

I recently accepted an offer with TSA and will start class in a couple months. I just want to fly, and signing bonus and possibility of eventually being based in STL near home put this airline at the top of my list.

I have to admit this makes me a little nervous. How many planes could go away? Would the companies that they would go to be able to crew them right away? The prospect of being laid off as the fleet shrinks is a little unsettling.

Honestly I nor anyone else would not have a clue. Only the upper management at both companies know any of the details if this rumor is even true.

I wouldn’t be to worried about being furloughed. I do think however regardless if this rumor is true TSA is going to have to get out of the 50 seat market soon or run the risk of losing the airline. That’s just my opinion.

I honestly doubt this is Tsa related, I think they want to unload Compass and GoJet. Tsa still has 50 seat contracts that need to be flown, particularly the United XRs. I’m sure the Eagle planes are on their way out but those are still a year or two away. Whatever happens I’m sure STL will be the last base to shut down. Although crazy things happen in this industry so you never know.

Republic union guy said specifically that article 26 (merger/acquisition language) of our TA is going to come into play soon. They however cannot say more than that so we have no idea who is involved. Compass makes total sense of course.

Default Highly doubt this

I would be surprised if a merger happens. One company is private the other public. If it does happen I would guess TSH buys Republic. I mean they are trading at .03 a share. I mean not like they would be expensive to buy.

The RJETQ stock you’re seeing at $.03 is no longer valid ... that was their stock ticker during bankruptcy. RAH is now wholly owned by unsecured creditors since emerging from bankruptcy last spring.

Secondly, by no means does a company being privately held mean it’s not for sale.

Both companies are private. Republic is no longer a publicly traded company post-bankruptcy.

Richard Leach was at Republic HQ all of last week apparently checking out various parts of our operation. Hulas has also been spotted at HQ.

Fun times ahead of us all!

Probably just buy Compass and TSA. No sense in dealing with the baggage.
