I always heard that "our" company could not bid on new flying while in negotiations because of the massive uncertainty to the companies budget, and therefore without a contract, no new flying. No RAH just runs out and gets flying got 53 airplanes?? ***
Sounds like you were hoodwinked.

Quickie pilot mill may not be an entirely fair statement. The place started to help military pilots leaving the military (with good training and experience, mind you), obtain an ATP so they could get a job with the airlines.

It is going to the Republic side....it's in the press release. The key phrase that you want to look for is "Republic Airlines"....that's the Republic certificate. Republic AirWAYS is the holding company.

How does this pan out in the process of getting a new contract? Will you go back to talking or are you stuck with what you have indefinitely?

New contract followed by bankruptcy then back to old contract. Repeat.

looks like Eagle just took a another torpedo to the side. This announcement should really ramp up the hiring spree there.

I think i can already hear the crickets chirping over at centreport.
