Bedford's been promising that kind of stuff since the 170s came online and the FAA has shot him down at every turn. Heck when they set up the Republic Certificate they tried cutting and pasting the CHQ manual and the FAA said no way. That was part of the reason starting the Republic certificate was such a freakin goat rope and the 170s ended up at Shuttle.

If you go to Republic believing the FAA is going to allow bidding across certificates without initial training then you will be very dissappointed. It would be like allowing United and US Airways to bid across because they are both a part of the same alliance. Will never happen. Count on it. More Bedford Propaganda. Bedford tried to get the FAA to approve common SOCs and maintenance across the 3 certificates and the FAA has consistently said no.

However what you will likely see at all operations with multiple certificates is a move to consolidate them into as few certificates as possible due to the horrendous cost of running multiple certificates. Now that the AA and CO scope has been relaxed to allow the larger RJs, the reason for creating this multiple certificate mess has gone away. Merging these certificates takes time, but will eventually happen. Its all about cost, and accountants hate duplication.
