Republic interested in purchasing American Eagle?

[pipejockey]

Oh, and just in case Repukelick does buy Eagle, isn't the agreed upon merging of seniority lists between pilot groups of similar airlines a DOH merger? And unlike the AW and US merger, neither airline has anybody furloughed so it should be quite simple. The Eagle pilots are probably hoping this merger happens as over half of their FO's would become CA's and over half of RJET CA's become FO's. Or will they do what they did to the Midwest pilots and put them all out on the street, which I'm still scratching my head about as to not only the legality of it but the MORALITY of it!

No. It is not DOH.

Nice try at stirring the pot!

Really? Wasn't it just 10 short years ago that everybody was touting the 50 seat RJ as a panacea? No more noisy, slow, low flying turbo-prop rattletraps. Now the passenger can fly quietly, high, quickly, and above the weather, making the travel experience so much better for the passenger. Are you saying that after all the whining and complaining people did about the Turbo-Props they now have the audacity to complain and whine about these quieter, faster, and smoother jets? I would have never guessed it! But I guess for the 1970's fares the public is paying, they deserve to complain about small jets. Time to put them back in the planes the regionals used to fly like the Dash, Saab, Beech, ATR!

IMHO the Dash and ATR have more room than the CRJ, and ERJ. Elbow room in theose jets is lacking and very uncomfortable. It's very difficult to use a laptop on those jets compared to the larger tprops....

I've flown the Dash and ATR, and they are more passenger friendly....just sayin'

Why on earth would anyone want to buy AE with mostly obsolete jets and scoped-out larger ones for their main customer?

In your wet dreams.. Republic has been around for a long time, and will be around for much longer. MOST companies that begin or start a new venture lose lots of cash for many years. Profitability takes years as up-front costs and investments are required. Heck, Facebook has been around for many years and just finally turned just made a profit.

The only thing that will not exist is probably a quarter of these 50 seat aircraft. The market is shedding those as fast as possible as they are completely undesirable by the Majors and passengers.

Study the market and business fields before making such shallow uneducated conclusions.

He's right! He might aswell be flying for free with what Republic flies him/her and his/her coworkers to fly the 190. How can other airlines compete with that?

RP's days are numbered. The quarterly report shows an extremely low amount of cash. RP is terminating service on competitive but desirable routes. The squeeze is being put on them by Southwest, Airtran, United, and Delta in DEN & MKE. RP keeps screwing over too many people. They'll get what's coming to them.

even if this long shot came to be..no eagle FOs would be able to displace a single RAH Captain, regarldess of longevity.

Hey look, a Skywest guy who accepted 50 seat pay to fly 70 seat jets is throwing stones at Republic...

Did you expect anything less on here? Nothing, but kids.

Here's my business analysis:

Republic sucks and so does 170/190 dbag pilot. You guys sure do keep that thing updated don't you, that way when you post on here we all cower in your awesomeness.

Have fun flying in your fantasy mainline aircraft. Many of us cannot wait to see you standing in the unemployment Line right behind every Midwest, Lynx, and soon to be Frontier pilot you have put out of work.

I could only imagine if some of you were to act out at work the way you act out and put on a high school show on here. You'd all have pink slips. Oh well, you all may continue entertaining me now...............
