"Republic chief executive officer Bryan Bedford said at the Next Generation Equity Research Airlines Conference in New York City Dec. 9"
Please tell me this is a made up conference.

17 years, and a punk pay for training kid will probably be telling you how lucky you are to have a job at RAH. What a joke. I hope you will never have to work with BB and the RAH pilots- both would be a death sentence for somebody with your experience. This little regional on steroids is going to end badly- being a leech to a larger company is one thing, forging your own way in one of the toughest industries during one of the toughest recessions in modern time is quite a different task.
Good luck to all of you MEH pilots.

But seriously, so you've got people buying tickets on Midwest, flying an airplane with Frontier's paint, and the crew is from Zimbabwe. So far it's proving quite the fiasco and if they don't get their brand pinned down quick I don't think all the cookies in Milwaukee are going to save this train wreck.

Yep, it's just getting started and will soon be ending. Once the parasitic fee for service contracts start drying up RAH will bleed profusely for a few quarters until the bankers pull the plug. FlyI part deux.

Southwest should serve cookies out of MKE, just for fun.

Another move made by this wonderful man is that Republic is now sending out letters to furloughed Midwest employees giving us 90 days before our non-rev travel benefits end. What a nice Christmas present from this scum bag. How about some of our Republic pilots coming to our rescue. Get off your duffs and do something. Anything.
at least the pr!ck is consistent. i'll give you 1 guess what the union's response to what seems to me like a pretty cut and dry section of the contract.
i hope for all furloughs, from all affected parties, that you find gainful employment elsewhere and do not have to return to that place.

What's proving to be quite the fiasco? All i'm seeing is higher load numbers and the company still pulling a profit during the most expensive parts of an acquisition. Frontier I believe made around $30mil profit as well which wasn't included in the last report.
No doubt BB needs to work on his PR skills though.
