If, IF, these fleet numbers are right in the article, then Republic goes to 190 total aircraft after the 145s and Qs are gone. So that's 1,900 pilots. Not sure what staffing levels are currently at, but based on this, a furlough definitely isn't out of the question depending on how many jump ship now.
