First off, don't count BB out. He is a pretty smart guy.
If they take delivery of the C-Series they will do more than survive, they will dominate.
Why? you ask:
Well they are getting the maintenance rights to the GTF for 15 years. That will be a huge revenue stream to float them in their lean times. If Boeing or Airbus add that engine to their airframes even more so. It will be worth billions.

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

Then why hasn't SWA forced "Tran" out of BWI, MCO, FLL, TPA, MDW, ETC?
If that is true, SWA will never force Airtran out of anywhere as Airtran's CASM is about 10% lower than Southwest's.
Do you have a copy of the current contract. I know you don't or you wouldn't be making that statement.
Pilots are only responsible for approximately 10% of Airtran's total CASM (and all Airtran labor groups combined represent approximately 20% of Airtran's total CASM). Even if Airtran pilots get a significant raise in 2010, Airtran's CASM will still be lower than Southwest's.And I hope you all get the pay raise you deserve in the future, even if it means that your CASM may increase.
AA's contract does not allow anyone other than eagle to operate any jet with more than 50 seats. CHQ was paying AA a fine of several hundred thousand dollars per month when the Yonited 170's first arrived, hence the abrupt purchase of S5 to get around that contract violation.
