The upper brass COULD CARE LESS who flies their domestic (and eventually international) routes.
Or COULDN'T CARE LESS, even.

I couldn't give a carp less if they survive or not.
Airtran is growing in MKE without adding new airplanes to the fleet by moving some of the ATL airplanes up to MKE. While Airtran has held their own in ATL against Delta over the last 10 years, Fornaro obviously feels there are more profits to be had in MKE over the long run than trying to grow more in Delta's main hub as evidenced by the airplane shift.Airtran competes on quite a few more, but they are also competeing heavily with Delta on the ATL markets. I also don't think the Airtran guys want to talk about how they have outsourced there flying on many competeing routes to SkyWest. Sore subject I know.
I don't hate Republic. I used to fly for Shuttle when they had Saabs and still have friends there. I don't blame Bedford for buying Midwest or Frontier at firesale prices. If you want to put blame somewhere, I say point it at Frontier management for running their airline into bankruptcy or at Midwest management for running their airline into the ground. Bedford has taken Republic in an interesting direction. It will be interesting to see if they become the next Indepedence Air or find a way to become the next major airline (using the $1 Billion/yr in branded revenue metric).Everyone hates RAH. I get that. Does anyone really blame anyone other than Management though. Every pilot goes to work and tries to make it in this F'd up industry just like the next guy while management messes with all our lives.
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.

I don't think tran will get mke. I think ultimately, swa will get mke. You may as well say rah is out, but to me, tran doesn't really have a place in this picture either. Swa may just let tran spend all the $$ to eliminate rah from mke, then they (swa) will pounce on tran. I could be wrong, after all its just speculation. Its just my view on the way things may play out.
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.
die RAH just rot away...i wish nothin but the worst for ya
N0.......not when they keep treating people like this:10 years ago Chautauqua was a PFT operation with some beat-up J-Balls and a few scraggily Saabs. Look at them now!! In ten more years they'll be flying 500 seat double-decker Embrares around the world. The possibility of codesharing with Branson taking the E-6000 Spaceship to orbit is not out of the question. If past results guarantees future performance, Republic will continue to grow like a weed, and they will be around for a long time.
Every business in operation wants to beat the competition. Every sports team wants to beat the other one.

It's a dog eat dog world boys. Always has been and always will be.
We just co-exist with professional courtesy and let the managers make the decisions.
