I think most everyone can agree with this statement!

Won't be fine if you're one of the ones that doesn't get taken on to cover the flying they take back and you lose your regional job that happens to be paying your mortgage etc. mainline flies mainline planes, for every CRJ they replace with a 737 that's at least two crews that are no longer needed.

Yes, off over 75% in early trading. Ouch!





When price failed to continue higher from the July 2013 highs at #1 was big concern. When it failed to hold the trendline @ #2 was the indication to sell and take some profit off the table. When price failed at the multi-year trendline @ #3 was the "punch out now" signal.

Probably drinking. Isn't that what a lifer does when their regional publicly admits they can't sustain the operation financially?

Republic has 30 E175s flying for Delta. At one point in time, I believe Republic and Delta extended the the contract and was supposed to add 6-7 additional E175s.

These numbers are not correct.

Currently approx 223 Ejets with about 20ish parked due to lack of staff.
Currently 71+ 145's with only 16 flying next month due to staffing.
Currently only 2 Q400's flying. They stop at the end of the month.

There simply isn't a huge number of planes to be parked. They are ALREADY PARKED but RAH is still paying the FULL leases on them to the tune of $10million/month. This is the problem. There will be no furloughs, no layoffs. But there will be plenty of leases terminated as well as 145 flying terminated.

There could potentially be a 170/175 contract terminated (read Delta) but those pilots will quickly be transferred to other 170/175 flying. The Delta flying is only 25 170/175's and only 15 of them were flying this month due to lack of staffing.

Even if every plane except for the 170/175 fleet were parked tomorrow, RAH would still be understaffed.

Now that said, I'm not saying all is unicorns, rainbows and lollipops here. There will be tough times as the bankruptcy court, creditors committee and the company hash out an exit plan. I'm simply saying that this notion that many aircraft currently flying must be parked and pilots laid off is purely and simply false.

It's called business. That's how things work. Sorry to those who chose poorly

How many will bail before they take action with parking planes? An excess of 200 really isn't much, and by the time they did anything, I doubt there will be an excess. Combine that with the lack of new pilots to hire industry wide, and I seriously doubt there will be any furloughs.

They have 25; 15 175's and 10 170's, the addition was to be another 9.
