I don't think you get it. If Delta cancels the CPA, Republic is out all of that money. United will not pay Republic more so they can cover the payments on the cancelled Delta planes unless Republic can staff more flying for United with those planes.Originally Posted by TurbineTime
This is getting a little tiresome, but I'll say it again. The aircraft referenced in the post you quoted are some of the oldest in the republic fleet, they are paid off and have been for some time. If the CPA w/ delta is cancelled, they will be reallocated throughout the rest of the fleet to cover other flying. Again, there are no payments on those aircraft and they can be used elsewhere. They will not be going anywhere but the paintshop to get their new United colors.
