So, given that it is definitely a mainline airplane, who's gonna pick up Republic's order for 40 CS300s? There may be more options - so, it could be a bigger total volume order.

Someone on the other board mentioned Allegiant but it does not sound plausible to me unless they are the last bidder because Republic cannot take them. I am hoping a legacy picks them up. Any thoughts or "credible" predictions?
Nobody needs to take the orders. The C series has sold so poorly anyone can have slots at anytime if they want the airframe. My guess is since the forecast scope cave never happened they will simply be canceled.
