Of course, LUV could always just buy the assets and then hire new people off the street...>>>>>


We're heading into a 4 month period where airline profitability is pressured even in normal times. If it's true that some legacy airlines are going to drop their capacity purchases with republic due to a desire not to subsidize an emerging mainline competitor, this will crunch republic's bottom line. How hard would remain to be seen, but it'll hurt to some degree. As for BK talk, we hear stuff like that in this business all the time and even when it happens there's always been somebody around who's stupid enough to bail the latest bk airline out. Considering the state of the economy and the pressure the feds are getting over the deficit, maybe bailouts and bk financing won't be there for the zombies this time. That would be a nice change of pace for this industry.
