Republic to buy Comair?

[Steve McCroskey]

CHQ pilot contract also forbids flying outside of it's seniority list. No whipsaw. No alter-ego @ RAH. If we bought Comair they would have to be on our list to fly.

Good Luck with that. Eagle has the same language in their contract, but guess who flies the STL feed?

There will jsut be a big fence, keeps us out of the CHQ stuff and you out of teh CMR stuff.

Republic is good at operating a bunch of differnt certificates.

Guys. After being 5hit on and bad mouthed by Comair Pilots for years, do you think the pilots would look kindly on a seniority list merger? I would guess not.

Bedford is looking for a way out of the small RJ business, not another anchor to keep him in. We operate an single brand fleet, EMB. Bringing on the CRJ is a HUGE cost and a logistic nightmare.

We are in the same position that Mesabe as 7 years ago. Company increased 5 fold with no infrastrucure to support it. You can't get a phone call returned from any department @ HQ. Bringing on another airline & another fleet type would be a scary thought.

Look for MESA to buy CMR if anyone. Orstein has the $$$ and the CRJ's in place.

Well buying CMR would bring all that infrastructure with it. So it comes in teh purchase price.

I pray that this doesnt happen. All we need is a load of pissed off people even more pissed at each other. Keep the CMR flying at CMR, and the RAH flying at RAH. Unfortunately it has been said there will be 3-4 thousand pilots at RAH by 2009. This would do it. Good luck to us all.

It won't happen. CRJs at RAH just doesn't make any sense. Mesa will buy them.

RAH isn't interested in 50 seaters and hasn't been for a long time now.

Oh Promise Me. Parting is such sweet sorrow.
