^^This. None of that flying that was outsourced this year should have gone anywhere but a wholly-owned. Not a single segment while we have guys and gals on the street and 175s sitting idle. Yet now we sit here and say it’s cool that a “good operator” got ships contractually earmarked for us because we have too much flying? We applaud management’s financial engineering? Madness.
Its not cool but wth you expect anyone to do about it. Management refused to even suggest this in advance, even though this has been in the works for a long time.
I'm just sort of understanding why they did it. They are in deep sht and needed to shed 130mil of debt this way. AAG owns a chunk of Republic, so better this way than to farm even more flying out to Mesa or SKW.

Just take the L and move on. You’re correct though, “you can’t fix stupid”, you’re living proof.

Thanks for that reminder. Maybe Bedford will remember and be generous enough to provide DIP financing for AAG this time around, eh?

You as an union member should be ashamed of your comment, and as far as I remember you’re kinda junior. I’ll laugh at you if they furlough your ass

Don’t forget how hard AA tried to sell off Eagle during their BK. If push comes to shove, they will do it again or sell off the aircraft to other operators to fly.
