The 900's will then replace the 200's in those markets.
Republic and/or GoJets CPA's will be wound up and airframes moved to 9E.
No No No. Republic will be a major player and a powerhouse in the regional market for years to come. In fact, their diversity has literally won the cash flow of all three legacies exiting bankruptcy. In fact, the big 3 own republic's assets in thirds. I just can't see a single reason why they would be on the way out. Short of the big 3 splitting the planes three ways, keeping them around is a cheap way to fly excellent aircraft.
