Airline Bulletin: Independence Air |
 | | Independence Air used to be a vendor, to Delta and United, but it saw the shakeout coming, and decided to be proactive and seek a new business model. |
 | | Independence Air is unlikely to restructure into a profitable carrier, and hopefully, for the sake of the industry, Independence Air will fold and the rest of the industry, the sane faction of the industry will thrive in the new world. |
 | | Independence Air uses for the most part 50-seat Canadair Regional Jets (CRJs), and the economics of CRJs is pretty lousy, but when fuel is at $67 a barrel, the economics just simply won't allow you to break even. |
