Mark in Southlake, Tx. told me he heard information that a AA and US are developing purchase rights/exchange agreement for 40 to 50 new E-175 for exchange for the 47 CRJ-700 for PSA. He said that the new E-175 would be in the same configurations as the Republic Airways new E-175 configurations...

My friend put a question to me. To be on a softer side position, could you conjure up a scheme to entertain change to the DCA slot portfolio, like increase beyond perimeter slots, increase within perimeter slot competition, with out reducing services at the small community airports, and no...

I quest it would be a rumor from my friend. They do not like going through the TSA check points, to go between B to C or C to B, they said the connector would be great.

I wonder if Republic Airways Holdings (RJET) might entertain a business plan for a Merger/Acquisition or a 50/50 Joint Business Venture with AMR American Eagle (MQ), after AMR and RJET announced on the 24 Jan, 2013 that they enter into a 12 year Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA) for 53 (47 new/6...

I talk to a few friends back East, and they told me that Frontier was trying to make some connection with British Airways from BOS, EWR, PHL, BWI, and IAD to LHR. So, I started thinking that its been awhile since I talked to Jack and Frank in the UK, or better yet go see my friends in the UK...
