I don't understand why this is so hard to envision...who's to say that it would even be a codeshare agreement? You guys are getting so hung up on semantics and it's ludicrous that you're demanding details of a possible future business arrangement the details of which (should it come to pass) would be confidential.
Maybe Bedford has something in mind that doesn't exist yet, there a million ways that one could approach this and I don't have any idea what it would be. I just know that Bedford has always said that the C-Series was for Republic and that we need to have rates for those aircraft, just in case something does come together.
Well, because a code share is the only way RAH is going to be able to operate the C-Series with other airlines pax in the seats. Unless he strikes a deal with Alaska. That's about the only opportunity right now. Unless he plans on starting a traditional airline or LCC, and since he could not successfully run an already well established LCC the latter seems implausible.
Only time will tell.
