I wonder the same thing. He has never made a respectable wage flying airplanes yet he praises his company for this. There are Midwest pilots that started flying for Midwest around the time he was born who are about to lose their jobs. All ToiletDuck has to say is that the Midwest pilots should be thankful to have a job at Republic even after taking a 75% paycut and losing all of their work rules all the while ToiletDuck's situation improves a little. Yeah, I'm sure the Midwest pilots will be thrilled and proud to fly with you guys. Give me a break.

Not entirely true. ACA flew Delta Connection starting in the summer of 2000 till Nov 2004 out of LGA, BOS, and CVG. Delcon continued for a brief time after all UAX flying was terminated. Granted, not much, only 33 airplanes. However, when the DelCon fleet was planned in 1999/2000 it was going to exceed the size of the UAX operation with around 150 airplanes when all was said and done, using a mix of FRJ328, and the yet to be built 428 model. 9/11, as well as Dornier's insolvency issues squashed that.
When they were a UAX/DelCon carrier, the revenue split as a percentage was about 85/15.
True, but when you're main competitor is operating in BK, it's hard to compete at all. Also, when another airline puts aircraft on the EXACT same point to point routes, even more difficult.
Some routes were, some weren't. One decision that was made late in the game was the delay in delivery of the Airbuses that were coming to try to retain cash.

I feel sick flying in there. It's carnage! Like watching someone get raped right in front of you. If I come across a REAL Midwest pilot...drinks on me. Republic guys......forget it.

Boy, I'll tell ya. I just spent about an hour and a half reading all these pages on this thread. It just makes me even more sure I did the right thing leaving RAH when I did (2 years ago). Why doesn't everybody just line up on the ramp, facing each other like they did during the Revolutionary war, shoot at each other, and see who is left standing? Airline flying is not now, or ever will be, like it was in the past. What happened to the "love" of flying? I guess that's gone too. Now it's just to see who can bite the biggest chunk out of someone else's *ss and get away with it. Sorry guys, just my .02. After 36 years of flying, I never saw it get better, only worse.
