Republic loans more money to Midwest

[Moustache]

Come to think about it, the argument back in Jan 08 for getting rid of the 328's was that they could operate the CRJ, and get more seats, for the same cost.

So, now they want to back-peddle. Imagine that.

Looks like Skyway was a good idea

It is not about keeping MEH afloat. It is about making sure the can get Right of First Refusal, after TPG, and DAL.
It is a big game of chess.

I guess if you want a ops certificate with 717's on it....Oh wait, there all going away and not allot of 717's on the market. all your getting is the name.

Looks like Midwest's blocking of the Airtran deal was the worst thing they could've done.

I hope Republic buys Midwest when they fail...It'll be interesting watching Southwest move in and flatten the Rev BB.

There are much bigger things going on here. Midwest is done at any time. Since it's private, your options are to put more money in or sell/bankrupt it. For reasons I can't fully understand myself, they keep putting money in. We don't know if Republic is paying for the cert., Delta is looking for scope relief, Delta is looking to shut down Comair then Midwest so Republic can stay in the game and Delta can downsize the RJ fleet, Midwest to be the next Compass owned by Republic. The real possibilities are almost endless. There are bad things coming as a result, that much you should be sure of.

or they are just paying to keep their planes flying....?

That's another option as well. Short term it could seem like that, but like I said, who knows what the real end game is.

usually the simplest explanation is the truthful one.
