I am going off memory here, but their 318's are leased, and if we would even entertain getting them, I am sure they would have to be returned to the leasing company.
Then again, they do have C-Series slots, but again, it is cheaper to swoop in and take them after RJET implodes.
So Republic is going to spin F9 but they just confirmed order for more buses:
