"I don’t know what was worse. This or spirit having WiFi. Why do they put all the hype into these announcements?"
The Spirit guys didn't have to hurriedly vote in a mediocre TA for the benefit of those not even on property.

Republic is probably buying a flight school. Recruit from local high schools, train to commercial multi, instruct, Republic FO. They will cover some of the cost of training, but you have to give them 5 years at Republic. Maybe they cover the entire cost, and you give them 10 years servitude.

What is even funnier is apparently Bedford suckered the state, city, airport and Vincennes University into sinking money into his little scheme. Bottom line: until Republic gets some kind of flow to a mainline partner, this isn't going to work when you can spend the same money at Lufthansa or the American programs and have a guaranteed path to mainline. Even then, it still won't compare to other careers when you consider the cost. If these guys actually get out of LIFT for $65K I'll eat my shirt. It will probably be more like $125 to 150K at least. Also someone will have to back the note if it is a loan, probably Republic, and it will be interesting to see what they want to guarantee that loan.
