So this interview is going to be in Friday's paper or what? He's not making it any easier on himself by saying that MKE will keep the seven flights it has now, especially since we know RHI is going to end and there's been talk of moving the DCA flight to OMA.

RJET pilots are vocal in their opinions of Bedford.

WTMJ Radio is promoting hearing from BB this afternoon, including his thoughts on MKE. I'm not quite sure what that means, but, to listen:

It's a conversation with the Business Journal's editor, Mark Kass, regarding their interview with Bedford.
Bedford said that RJET's projections were off, as far as MKE routes; loser routes were discontinued. All current MKE routes, though, are profitable and will remain. Bedford also indicated that some marginal MKE routes, which were discontinued, may return in a better economy.

Where exactly do they sell the pritned issues of the Milwaukee Business Journal? I'd really like to read this interview but I went to two different gas stations today and neither of them had the newspaper. I don't feel like purchasing the online subscription just for one article.

“He literally trashed the brand,” said Carl Schwerman, first officer of the local 357, and Republican Airlines executive board trustee. “Bedford took the most senior, highest-paid pilots in the Milwaukee pilot group, threw us out on the street, returned the airlines to Boeing, and had to pay a penalty for getting out of the leases early.”

MKE-DCA appears to end on October 27th.
MKE-DEN is also being reduced from 4x daily to 3x daily. This could be a simple seasonal reduction. However, Frontier has been thinning out frequency on other DEN routes to make room for some of the MCO expansion so perhaps it will remain 3x daily going forward.
No word on the fate of RHI, but I'm guessing Republic can't wait to dump the route.
