Could the Republic/Frontier/Lynx announcement mean something for Delta?

Wow...who is owned by who? Flying for them under this and that...who can keep it straight anymore!?!?!
 
I see frontier/republic flying airbus for delta first. That would be more inline with delta's past announcements.


Yeah, right.......??????? Smokin MORE dope are you?

Do you really think anything good will come of another uber low cost entrant into the market?
 
When Continental asked if he would operate the Q 400, he said no. I would be surprised if at this point Bedford decided that props would fit into his business plan.

As I remember, Bedford's main reasoning for not taking the Q400 for Contintental was the expense of placing them on the certificate could not be justified for the number of aircraft involved. With Lynx, those costs have already been absorbed. Due to fuel costs, there will be more turboprops feeding the majors, so I won't be surprised to see him keep them.
 
They will be buying SWA next, no staples just fire your asses. LOL

you both need to chill!!! he going to buy both and staple you two and the bottom of the FA list!!!:smash:
 
How about finally replacing those ASA ATRs with Lynx's Dash-8-400s, or having Republic buy more under the Lynx certificate and flying them out of ATL? Wow, from what I remember, that Lynx contract is a great one.......ASA (and all DCI carriers) will now have to compete with Lynx.....ouch. I don't think Delta would have anything to do with Frontier, but I can see Bedford using the Lynx certificate for other airline feeds, and DL might want the new Dash. The pay there is close to Colgan's, right? You never know....

I love this mindset. If you had any grey matter in that flat top delta dome you would want the regionals to be paid as much as possible and better duty rigs, QOL, etc. The closer they are to the legacy the more likely you get 100 seaters at mainline. The cheaper those regionals are( insert lynx here), the more pressure it puts on you. But you are doing the typical top 50% of the legacy. You are not worried about furlough anymore so get as cheap a feed as possible because that means big paychecks for those africa turns.

I should know better than even posting this on the 'regional' forum to a mainline guy...... as I once learned..... never argue with a fool because after a few minutes nobody can tell the difference
