Unless there is a dramatic reduction in required lift, the flying that Republic is doing will go elsewhere. It does not necessarily mean more jobs for pilots, however.

It could be something like an Airbus covering the flights between two cities instead of 3 RJ's. In this case, there are less jobs at the regionals. Or, a 75 seat jet going twice a day instead of a 50 seat RJ going 3 times a day. Same lift, less pilot jobs.
