Considering that Jet fuel has been over $100.00 for quite sometime now I will have to say that the 50 seaters will be flying for a few more years!
Jet Fuel - Daily Price - Commodity Prices - Price Charts, Data, and News - IndexMundi
*42 gallons in an Oil Barrel.
RAH is in need to find a home for Frontier, they are making themselfs as attractive as possible. It seems Regionals will make trip down the Bankruptcy court just like their mainline partners have done over the last decade to iron contracts and shed unwanted leases!

Labor uses WTI Crude, Management uses Brent (because it’s higher).
In the past 5 years there have been a total of roughly 12 months out of those 60 months that WTI Crude has been over $100/bbl.
WTI Crude was over $100/bbl between:
February 28, 2008 and September 30, 2008 = 7 months,
March 2, 2011 and May 4, 2011 = 2 months,
February 13, 2012 and May 3, 2012 = ~3 months.
It hovered between $95 and just over $100/bbl between November 4, 2011 and February 10, 2012 (3 months)
I don’t know what you’re saying about BK, but I think, if we get the contract we hold out for or strike for, the next step will be BK for at least a portion of RAH.

The margins are dragged down by the Chq/Republic birds flying Frontier as the books are being manipulated to show low costs to Frontier and high costs to FFD (makes F9 look better to help try to sell it). The majority FFD flying is 70+ seat which are making quite a bit of money. This assertion that it is the highest profit magin in the airline world came out of the last union update.
SEC Filings
Slide 13
So the first part of your post is inaccurate and you completely believe our union when they say “…that it is the highest profit magin in the airline world…”, once again they are raising expectations within our pilot group and I’m afraid we’re all going to be disappointed by the final outcome.
And you truly believe if we get $55/hr for an FO at RAH, that it would actually have any effect on your ‘desire?’

Um...it'd be a hell of a step in the right direction. Is it the End all, no....but it is a change in the right direction.

Its best to just leave 3662 alone. Ignore him and he'll go away. No one is going to "win" an argument here. He is without question a management mole trying to ruffle everyones feathers. Just ignore him and he'll go away. He and his other screen names can have their own conversation.

Common sense and logic? The guy takes everything management says as fact. Im not a big union guy, but rah mangement has been caught in more lies than i care to talk about. If you want to debate certain aspects of both sides, go for it. Coming on here acting like bedford only speaks the truth and ibt only lies is just pathetic. Saying that, 3662 is either a management mole or a pilot lacking intelligence. Which ever he is, debating with him is pointless and a waste of time. You cant teach stupid.

...kinda like you believing when F9 is spun off or sold, the pilots will go with the planes and be magically merged with the buying company's pilots. You are the king of la-la land nonsense.

Now I must respond. If we do not go with the planes than I will gladly take a captain seat away from an RAH pilot.(NOT!) We are one happy family are we not? The IBT has F9 pilots best interests right?
If F9 did not have that wonderful 7 year fence would you gladly take an F9 pilots seat? That is the real question?
Stinky, there is bait on the hook. Go for it!
