Republic & Delta Finally Part Ways

[nerjdriver]

How old are you? You need to stay on topic.

Okay Mom. My physical age and maturity age are two very different things my friend.

I think we should start a "death pool" for republic. My $20 is on 4Q 2011.

I doubt it seriously but I would think many of the RJ drivers are in for some hurt as Delta and Yonited start moving these guys out of their feed system.

The day is coming when UAL will dump republic. When the 90-110 seaters arrive at UAL kiss your A$$s goodbye.

I bet it will happen as soon as it can. DL will not continue to fund a direct competitor (F9 and Midwest). And, it is time to continue to get rid of more 50 seaters (ERJs).


Bye Bye--General Lee

I doubt it. Direct, indirect, what difference does it make. Delta is funding United (Skywest and ASA) and Continental (Pinnacle nee Colgan). I think as long as someone will do it cheaper than mainline, Mommma Delta is happy with the arrangement.

Very misleading header...since it is the YX Frequent Flyer program that Delta will no longer honor

Colgan, ASA and SkyWest do NOT own UAUA or DAL or any affiliated Holding Companies associated with operating as a Connection Carrier or competitor. Republic Holdings owns Frontier and as such is a direct competitor with UA and DAL.

So Skywest keeps all the money it makes flying for United in different pile than the money it makes flying for Delta. Now I get it.

No, SkyWest does not own or operate a brand and take Market Share from United or Delta. Frontier does. So does Midwest X. Take those 2 out and you're back in SkyWest, ASA or Colgan territory. Try calling the number and booking a seat. Can you do that on ASA, Colgan, or SkyWest? No. Well, technically you can if you're SkyWest but it is operated under AirTran.

You see, UAUA, DAL, and AirTran sell all seats on eachother's Connection Carriers. There is no competition. Can't say that for Frontier or Midwest X.

i thought skywest became a competitor to ual and dal with their airtran operation. You see both AirTran and Skywest on the advertisements

You must not have a very good general knowledge. What where you expecting? How can delta part ways with republic when they've got a bunch of ejet and rjs flying for them? and no its not Midwest, they're gone. its just republic disguised in midwest colors.
