This is definitely not the outlook that was protrayed in Friday's email.
The docket filed today on prime clerk states:
"United will purchase __ E175 aircraft and, if the United Motion is approved, lease certain of the E175 aircraft to Republic Airline Inc. (“Republic Airline”) to operate under Republic’s codeshare agreement with United."
The number of airframes is redacted and it is still subject to court approval. With that said, I'd say the positive outlook of Friday's email is warranted.
