Republic Airways posts first quarter loss

[maxblast72]

How about the branded flying operation numbers?

Branded RASM: $0.0953
Branded CASM: $0.1113
Branded capacity: 3.7 Billion ASMs

Numbers indicate the branded operation cost Republic about $60 million while the fixed fee per departure made Republic about $20 million. Maybe branded flying in competition with the other LCCs and legacies is a little tougher than Beford initially thought.

Better yet, why don't you go slander God somewhere else? See, there are both sides to that, my friend. Of course, I am one of them thar bible thumpin, gun lovin right wing extremists that are intolerant of other's poor behavior.

Your point seemed to be that since the E190s were used for your "branded" flying, nobody else was hurt by your pathetic E190 wages. However, as I recall there were still YX pilots flying when the 190s showed up (not to mention the 300 furloughed). I'm sure you don't need to be reminded that the top of your E190 payscale was less than I got paid as a first year Boeing driver. I guess you view that as okay though because you were only screwing your "brothers and sisters".

I find sibling screwing a little disgusting, evidently you don't...

Your pay scale was better than ALL regionals out there. How can you blame any regional for that? I guess I should have made a point and called the company and said you know, the Midwest guys want their money more than my family needs mine, right? Sounds silly, doesn't it? When we negotiate this next contract, then you can start pointing fingers if we accept a substandard contract. There were still YX pilots flying the line when there were Republic pilots on furlough. YOU are the blame for that. Doesn't sound cool when the tables are turned, does it? You were screwing your brothers and sisters. I agree sibling screwing is unacceptable so don't do it again. No I do not need to be reminded about our pay scale. But you know what? There are some things you need to be reminded of.

lol Good one!

We own Midwest and Frontier. What's your point?

That is correct Shublicqua bought to financially struggling airlines. Of course, they bought it with money they made by flying the cheapest labor on planes that they have no business flying and costing jobs at the majors but they did buy those companies fair and square.

Yup, I would bet it is tougher than he thought. Here's to hoping for good times for airlines and contracts!

Cheap yes, as all regionals are. That's why airlines go with these companies. Cheapest? Uh no. I believe there are a good amount of same seat airplanes flying around with a much worse contract. Your argument would suggest any 76 seat airplane would be included in your statement, but you forget that it is because of ALL regional airlines that the industry is the way it is. That includes 50 seaters! Expressjet anyone? I wish those mainliners would have held onto scope. We would all be in better shape.

And there are other boards to go to and slander God. Glad I don't fly with ya though.

Wait until your jerking gear for a 18 year pissed off Midwest guy. I worked with some of those heathen Harley riding guys, you're in for a treat. Amen brother, AMEN.

And I mean that with utmost respect for the former Midwest guys. Some of whom were flying for Eastern, Midway and Pan Am long before Bedford graduated from FSU.

If there is such things as a god or "God", I can assure you he is not talking to B Bedford. Do you actually think B Bedford even believes in God? He is a scumbag. Nothing less and nothing more.

Yes,and your cheap labor at Colgan allowed then to buy Pinnacle,hmmm ? Great job you did there,defending the profession and all.

Can you feel the wind sheer in this conversation?

 

[CitationLover]

Ah shux, is that all ya got? Lol We are in negotiations now. Remember that our getting the 190's was something we got much later after our old contract was negotiated. Nevermind, that we put those 190's on our cert flying our own branded schtuff. I would see your point if these two factors were not in place. How bout getting past your very evident envy and hope that we do good in our negotiations and set a bar for others to follow. I don't know what airline you fly for, but you would be in the same exact situation had your company done this. We only can do what we can do and we are in the process of that now. I, as every pilot I know here, have not bid for any 190 flying. The company had to displace for the 190. Sure, there are a few on every cert that just does not get it, but I can't defend them. That is something they will have to contend with. Wish us luck and, of course, we appreciate the solidarity.

Our "own" branded stuff? hahaha Your flying my branded stuff. Does it say much that a first year FO at Midwest made more than any Republic FO?

The Midwest F/A's sued today. Heres to hoping for their success in crippling Republic.

I remember looking at their financials for the first 9 of '09 (before the addition of the F9 airbus) where their RASM was well below their CASM for the 37 aircraft in MKE.

I remember thinking that fuel going from 1.60's to 2.25/ gal. would make it hard for them to turn a profit on the branded stuff even with the addition of Frontier's 50 aircraft, but wow...$60 mil...did those numbers include any write offs or was that strictly from the operation?

 

[StaySeated]

There was a total of $22.6 MM in non recurring items included in the branded loss. There was an additional $5.5 MM line item attributed to severe winter storms.

I am not trying to shine up the pig, it was a bad quarter, but there were several non-operational write-offs.

One big question mark on the consolidated balance sheet is the monster "other". First Quarter 2009 had a $33 MM "other" expense, first quarter 2010 had a $81.5 MM other expense, a 146% increase.

Also, the branded CASM of 11 cents is a bit scewed due to the fact that 11 EMB 135-145s that previously were considered fixed-fee are now being considered branded. The planes will eventually get parked and the CASM will return to "normal". The days of sub six cent casm for the brand are over due to the high cost of operating the 170-190s.

Someone list examples of other careers (besides this one of course) where people belittle and wish bad upon others.

Professional wrestling. The careers are similar in other ways too.
