Normally I don't say anything until it's a few notches above speculation...but here goes. One of two things will happen with Republic and their ORD flying.

A. Unpark their older E170s and use them in that market..or

B. Shift E175s from either JFK or MIA.

The E170s are dead in the water and Republic can't get rid of them fast enough. There may have even been a clause in their bankruptcy settlement about parking them.

So option B is the most likely. Now, JFK or MIA? Republic is already becoming scarce in MIA with Envoy taking over much of the flying as it is. They have already shifted most of their aircraft out of there even before this announcement.

So...what do you think?
