Don't forget Piedmont and PSA, Air Wisconsin (who owns a chunk of LCC), Colgan, and TSA in the Airways side of the mix...
Yeah, Piedmont is fine. They've been shrunk into this nice little niche market. Same with Colgan. Air Wisconsin can pretty much dictate their own future. PSA may find themselves shoved together with Comair in a Piedmont/Allegheny type merger, but thats stretching it. Either way, they're clearly at risk. TSA is a crap-shoot, but I wouldn't do any investing there for a while. I don't think Republic will come out as sweet as they think in this. They're banking on a bunch of 70's for further growth, and none of that is going to be in the Airways colors. Parker's still honked off about the 170 sale to Republic. They may be able to pay to keep most of their 50-seat flying, but remember that they still have not signed a deal with Delta, which means only Skywest/ASA are guaranteed to remain. Republic's not screwed, but they're not going to grow much, if at all, in my opinion.
