> Doesn't anyone honestly sell a real product that you can take at face value anymore? It's all about risk. Outsourcing means companies transfer risk to other parties. Governments love to do it too, that's why entities like the EU are given sovereign power or public transport is privatised. What's this? A train crashed because of a poorly maintained rail? Scheduled maintenance overran and commuters are angry? The power grid is experiencing brown outs because there's not enough power stations? Sorry, that third party is to blame... bad third party! I totally understand why it's annoying, but I have nothing to do with third party etc. So in a way, United taking the blame for these things is refreshing. They are treating the outsourcing as their own responsibility. |

> they have a vested interest in keeping Republic afloat through its bankruptcy (and therefore, discreetly accepting blame)
