You bring up a good point regarding the next AE, I am sure they have probably delayed it until the Slot Swap deal becomes official. If anything it shows that they are probably close to coming to a settlement on it.
I don't think the slot swap will do much from the AE. Last I heard Steve D. talk about it, he said the split between mainline and 76 seat flying will be about 30% to 70% (70% being 70-76 seat flying).

What happened to offering a quality product? Apparently "the year of the customer" means something different than I think it does.

I think the year of the customer just meant they were going to give the customer what they wanted, lowest possible fares. Who cares about customer service or on time performance?

Here's the "quality" product.

Republic orders 40 CSeries and options 40 more

Republic orders 40 CSeries and options 40 more
By David Kaminski-Morrow

US-based Republic Airways Holdings has ordered 40 Bombardier CSeries aircraft and placed options on 40 more.
The company has signed a purchase agreement for the CS300 variant of the twin-jet.
Republic Airways Holdings says the aircraft will be configured with 138 seats, in a single cabin arrangement.
The Indianapolis-based company owns several US operators including Chautauqua Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Lynx Aviation, Midwest Airlines, Republic Airlines and Shuttle America.
Deliveries are to begin in the second quarter of 2015. The aircraft will be fitted with Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engines and the carrier has signed an exclusive 15-year maintenance deal with the engine supplier.

....So he's not completely crazy!

If they were REAL amazons, they would have one breast exposed. These aren't REAL amazons.

RAH orders 80 brand new airplanes.
Pretty unusual for a company that's not an air carrier.
