Will Republic Survive?

Do you think Republic will survive? They have big odds against them.

A lot of peeps will probably lean towards the answer that would be no. But my guess is as good as yours. The dice will keep rolling until someone goes bankrupt.

Just because everyone hates them and wants them to fail, doesn't mean they will.

Just look at how long it took for MESA to become what it is. Their stock once hit $22.75 about 15 years ago, today it closed at a measly .07 cents. OUCH!

Mesa didn't take on SWA and Airtran with their own branded operations. You have to admit, Bedford has a set of big balls.

Remind me in 5 years that Bedford didn't have to raise the bid last year or that maybe Gary should have.

It'll be interesting.

Gup, Gary did the right thing. You guys will get your DEN market without Frontier and without worrying about integrating Frontier labor just like Airtran will still get MKE without the Midwest labor integration problems that would have come about if Airtran's 2007 buyout attempt would have been successful.

It'll last as long as the other carriers continue to subsidize the branded operation.

There lies the problem. I don't see any majors continuing their association with Republic beyond the current contract.

Don't fool yourself. I could see a Dallas based company allowing Republic to fly 100 seat jets for them.
