Republic selling, who's buying?

[Flybywire44]

Nope. The slots used by UsAir /170s etc. are owned by RAH due to one of the UsAir bankruptcies, and THEY are for sale back to UsAir. The Frontier slots aren't for sale & we are trying to get more.

Who is trying to get more slots? Frontier? How, with what money? Your sure frontier slots are not for sale?

Yup. I'm sure. Whether we get any more slots, I don't know.

In another potential cash-raising effort, Bedford says Republic could sell its slot holdings at Washington Reagan National Airport to US Airways to raise about $50 million. Republic holds 113 commuter slots at National under a financing deal with US Airways, with Republic using the slots to provide US Airways Express service on a fee-for-service basis.

From the article, they present the business plan to the board tomorrow Nov. 2nd, and are likely to discuss the plan during their 3rd qtr conference call Nov. 8th. So there should be some more definitive news shortly.

I think AirTran should bid on a LGA set and Southwest should bid on a set.

Hey Bad-Andy,

Is sitting around watching rednecks drink any worse than sitting around drinking prison hootch in the sandbox? I'm gonna be imbibing heavily the rest of my life to kill those memory braincells!

No way. Nothing will ever be worse than that!!! However, that nasty hootch I was making sure was effective at killing a lot of brain cells quickly. As for sitting around watching the rednecks drink, the only part that sucks about it is not getting to drink with them... Other than that, I fit right in!!!
