I-ATA Airlines kungenzeka iphahlazekile futhi yasha. Kodwa enye inkampani yezindiza yase-Indianapolis indizela phezulu.
IRepublic Airways Holdings Inc. izuze u-$83 million ngo-2007, kanti inzuzo ingase ifinyelele ku-$100 million kulo nyaka, ngokusho kwenkampani yokutshala izimali uRaymond James. Imali engenayo yephule i- $ 1 billion ngo-2006 futhi ingase idlule i-$ 1.5 billion kulo nyaka.
Lokhu ngesikhathi abahlaziyi besonga izandla zabo mayelana nokuthi iyiphi inkampani yezindiza okungenzeka ukuthi ifadalale futhi iyeke ukusebenza. I-Skybus, Aloha Izinkampani zezindiza kanye nenkampani yezindiza yedolobha lasekhaya i-ATA zonke zivale isonto lokuqala lika-Ephreli.
“IRiphabhulikhi isaqhubeka nokwenza kahle, futhi iye yakhula futhi yaphumelela ezikhathini ezinhle nezimbi,” kusho uWarren Wilkinson, iphini likamongameli wenkampani.
Manje sekucishe kube kubi njengoba kuba. Njengoba umhlaziyi we-Calyon Securities u-Ray Neidl esho embikweni wakamuva, Imboni yase-US ngaphakathi ezweni inezinkampani zezindiza eziningi ezinikeza izihlalo eziningi kakhulu ngemisebenzi ebiza kakhulu yama-hub. Lokhu kuholele ekutheni amanani amathikithi abe ngaphansi kwezindleko zokukhiqiza umkhiqizo, ikakhulukazi uwoyela ngo-$100 umphongolo.”
Nazi izindaba ezinhle. IRiphabhulikhi imayelana nokusiza iziqhwaga zamapulangwe ukuthi ziqhudelane. Izinkampani zezindiza ezinkulu ziqasha iRiphabhulikhi kanye nabanye o-opharetha abancane ukuthutha abagibeli ngamajethi amancane ukuya ezindaweni okuyiwa kuzo.
Izinkampani zezindiza zabagibeli zinezindleko ezishibhile kunezabalingani bezindiza ezibasebenzelayo, futhi azikho ezisebenza kahle njengeRepublic, kusho umhlaziyi kaRaymond James uJames D. Parker embikweni.
Lokho kungenxa yokuthi abashayeli bezindiza beRiphabhulikhi bamelwe ama-Teamsters, anemithetho yomsebenzi evumelana nezimo kune-Air Line Pilots Association. Leyo Republic indizela izinkampani zenethiwekhi eziyisithupha - ngaphezu kwanoma yiziphi izimbangi zayo - futhi yehlisa isikhathi sokuphumula sabashayeli bezindiza.
Isiphetho: Abashayeli bezindiza baseRiphabhulikhi benza isilinganiso samahora angama-61 ondiza ngenyanga, uma kuqhathaniswa nangu-54 eSkyWest nangu-48 eComair, kusho uRaymond James.
Futhi nakhu okukhahlelayo: IRiphabhulikhi kanye nabanye abathwali babagibeli bavikelekile esiphithiphithini esiningi somkhakha. Abagibeli bathola izinkokhelo ezimisiwe zezindiza zabo ezivela kozakwethu, ezithwala izingozi ezihlobene nokushintshashintsha kwamanani kaphethiloli, amanani okugibela ashintshashintshayo kanye nokuthi amajethi andiza acishe agcwale noma acishe angenalutho.
Lokho akusho ukuthi iRiphabhulikhi ngeke ibe nesiyaluyalu njengoba imboni yezindiza iba noshintsho olukhulu. Ingase ilahlekelwe yibhizinisi uma enye yezinkampani zezindiza indizela emazweni asebhange futhi igoqekile, noma isebenzisa inkantolo yokuqothuka ukuze iphinde ixoxisane ngezinkontileka.
Kodwa yakwazi ukumelana ngempumelelo nomzuliswano wokugcina wokuqothuka, kulandela ukuhlasela kwamaphekula ngoSepthemba 11, 2001, njengoba i-CEO uBryan Bedford aphawula ocingweni lwengqungquthela nabahlaziyi ngoFebhuwari.
Emuva ngaleso sikhathi, “ukwesaba kwangempela [kwakuwu] ukuthi imingcele yethu izoqedwa noma, mhlawumbe okubi nakakhulu, ibhizinisi lethu lalizoqedwa futhi ngokuqinisekile lingeke likhule. Futhi kwabanye abasebenza ngezindleko eziphakeme, abangasebenzi kahle, okube yiqiniso, ”kusho uBedford, 46, ocingweni.
“Kodwa bekuhlale kuwumbono wethu ukuthi kubasebenzi besifunda abasezingeni eliphezulu, ababiza kancane, besicabanga ukuthi sizophuma ngakolunye uhlangothi lwalezi zinqubo zokuqothuka kokubili sisesimweni esihle sezimali futhi sinamathuba amasha.”
Ukwethusa okukhulu kulokhu ukuthi izindiza ezifisa ukunciphisa izindleko zizohlangana, zibeke engcupheni izinkontileka zazo nabasebenzi bezifunda. Kodwa iBedford ibiza lokho ngokungeyona indaba. Abathwali abahlanganisiwe bazophoqeleka ukuthi baphile ngokuvumelana nezinkontileka zabo, ngaphandle uma bezichitha ngokuqothuka.
Isitokwe esiqinile, amandla amakhulu okusebenza
Ukusebenza okuqinile kweRiphabhulikhi kube yisibusiso enkabeni ye-Indiana, lapho manje inabasebenzi abayi-1,700. Lokho kuhlanganisa nabasebenzi basekomkhulu lale nkampani eduze kwamaPyramids. isikhungo sayo sokulungisa isikhumulo sezindiza sase-Indianapolis kanye nesikhungo sokuqeqesha sase-Plainfield, kanye namalungu eqembu azinze endaweni.
Abatshalizimali nabo bahambe kahle. Kusukela ekuqaleni kwenkampani ngoMeyi 2004 ukunikela esidlangalaleni, amasheya afinyelele kumaphesenti angama-57. Lokho kuqhathaniswa nokuthuthuka okungamaphesenti angama-22 ngesikhathi esifanayo senkomba ye-S&P 500.
Angizange ngibe nayo, kodwa i-Bedford eshaja kanzima, ehole inkampani yezindiza kusukela ngo-1999, akayena umuntu othanda ukuphumula.
Njengoba abanye abafowabo benkampani yezindiza ezinkulu bebambelele ezimpilweni zabo. I-Bedford ifuna ukukhula okuqhubekayo.
"Sizobheka izindlela zokwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi ibhizinisi lethu liyaqina," etshela abahlaziyi, "siqinisekisa ukuthi likwazile ukuphendula emathubeni ozakwethu abangase basitholele wona."
