Will Republic Survive?

[EMBPILOT1]

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.

And that is why contracts are not FOREVER! Contracts end, and re-negotiated all the time. AA contract may not allow this now, but you can bet your a$$ that little clause can disappear in a blink of an eye.

I couldn't give a carp less if they survive or not.

Really, Wes? Then why post? How you doin', Buddy? I will tell you - I care. Gots dat mortgage y'know...

 

[Wesb737fo]

Oooops! I forgot. dang. I guess I do care. I'm good man. Overworked and underpaid....

 

[Captain Morgan]

Doesn't Republic own a bunch of slots in DCA that USAir uses? I can't remember if that's true or how many.

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.

SWA has two gates in MKE. RAH released all the gates around them. There is nowhere for them to expand. if they increase service, they increase their gate waits. PAX really hate that.

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.

A "revenue stream" thats funny. This type of move just slows the bleeding, but the fact is; they are still bleeding!

That's touching. Kinda made me cry a bit there. Ex-RAH, I take it?

 

[aewanabe]

Yuppyguppy has moved beyond his past flying RJs and therefore forgets from whence he came; I just wonder if he knows there are 3 CRJ-700s flying in UA paint for every E170. Nah.....

 

[sfomarc]

I wonder if other professions wish all the ill will that pilots seem to towards one another. No wonder this profession is heading down the toilet.

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.

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.

Couldn't agree more, but most of us want to "win" by doing a better job, not by doing it for half what the competion does,

Believe me Gup, you're a professional contractor and just that. Tomorrow you might be seeking to sell your services elsewhere like any other player especially when you leave others to make the decisions. That dog you raise today might just be eating your lunch tomorrow. In this day and age the boardroom always have other ideas about getting to that coverted prize.
