Disclaimer - no animosity is being directed to any of the RAH folks affected by this fleet change
I read that US Airways is reclaiming 5 of the Republic 190's. Two in the Fourth Quarter of 2012 and three in the First Quarter of 2013.
Derek J. Kerr Airways CFO
"Also in July, we reached an agreement in principle with Republic to reacquire 5 Embraer 190 aircraft, which will be flown at the mainline and used to replace regional aircraft that will be returned or retired in 2013. This aircraft acquisition is subject to, among other things, definitive agreements and final approvals of the parties. We anticipate the first 2 deliveries will go into service in the fourth quarter, with the final 3 expected in early 2013."
Will this affect hiring at the other certificates if/when the Republic guys get displaced?
