F9 Pilots

[MCOE175]

BB is a salesman and WH is the snake... When the 2 work together who knows what is going to happen next. The F9 guys need to protect themselves, that is the entire reason behind my posting. Why else would they allow XY to intergrate but not F9. This is because RP/XY will be cheaper. If the F9 pilots agree to allow BB to keep them seperate the same crappy thing is going to happen to a good airline.
Now I speak for myself when I say, fence off the bus (not jelousy, when refering to the airplane).

Its food for thought and not an attack on F9. We might be part of the same company some day, why make it as bad as airways.

Everytime I JS on F9 there has been nothing but professionalism, I hope we can keep it this way!

Good luck and fly safe!

Good post MCO, you definitely have the right attitude for this.

I think that the writing is on the wall. Republic has done what other airline exec's would like to do but can't. If BB can get the 320's and 717's to be flown at regional rates, he will a competitive edge in pricing power. All that means is that he will convince Board of Director members to reward his efforts with a very lucerative compensation package. All the while taking money from the pilot groups to support his airline.
IMHO the only way to prevent this is to draw the line in the sand,...and hire some wall street negotiators to represent the pilot groups...you know that BB has already hired his.

I thought of something the other day...maybe far out in left field, but it struck me as interesting.

Wasn't RAH trying to get regional flying for SWA not too long ago? Wouldn't it be ironic if SWA came to RAH and said that if they could figure out some way to get rid of F9 in DEN so that SWA could take over the A concourse and have almost no competition that they would award RAH a lot of valuable regional flying. Most likely not even an option, but i found it interesting when it came to mind...it would benefit SWA like crazy, and RAH would get a lot of extra flying for their 190's.

SWA has 2 bil in cash. If they wanted to they would straight out buy F9 for more money. Plus if we out source any RJ flying the customer service side would be questionable. this is one of the reasons why this last contract failed. If a 737 can go there so can SWA and it's crew's

True, but it was Mr. Kelly who said he would hate to be the one who puts the hometown airline out of business there in DEN. Also, i'm glad to see that there is a pilot group out there that is willing to stand up to Management and tell them to go to he!! when it comes to regionals coming in and doing some flying for them.

Skywest...well, see, oh well, that was why it was just a thought and nothing more.
