But these were ordered in 2010, so I wonder what happened to them with the Frontier purchase, Frontier sale, and current financial woes...which may be all the more reason we might see them on property. Could be Republic came to United, asked for help on their current CBAs, they have orders looming which they won't be able to fly the aircraft under any of their current CBAs due to scope choke.
The C300 doesn't meet our CBA definition of "new small narrowbody"
