RAH is too many billions in DEBT

Now thats an intelligent post.

Latest rumor I heard concerning Mesa, was Mesa buying Comair.

This may be an odd question, but why did RAH have to go out and add CRJ's to the mix for just for CAL? I've seen the post about the CRJ not cutting it on several of the routes. Looks like a round peg in ye ol' square hole. Or the government has taken over RAH...

Better yet, I'm curious how they outbid everyone who already operates CRJs. RAH had to tag on the price of getting everyone trained from the start. A foolish overextension that will likely cause Republic some growing pains.

Supposedly the leases on the ex-FlyI airplanes was sooooooooo low it made financial sense to take on another fleet type as the 145 market was fairly sparse. The cost of spooling the airplanes up, getting pilots/FAs/mechanics trained, securing a parts supply chain and the subsequent issues with the airplanes being pressed into XR routes it has no business flying almost have to have mitigated its benefit...

They assumed they would be getting the 69 airplanes CAL pulled from XJT's CPA.

i think he meant RAH (and CAL) though xjt was just going to hand over the planes to RAH...
they got none of our planes!

I dont think JO's ego would ever let him do a thing like this......

 

[N4niner206]

Supposedly he's (JO) stated that he WOULD sell the airline...

I know it does sound a bit far fetched but if it happens you heard it here first. We could have a surplus with out jets going to Olympic town and home of the panda. Make fun of me all you want......Navy beat Army this year and last!!!
