Rumors I've heard with location and source of hearing them:

Training Center:
1. Potential Flow announcement with United - Company is in talks but it is a very difficult situation since they are 22% owned equally by each of the Big 3 and 44% privately held. Source: A Chief Pilot

2. Buying a Flight Training School - This would help with recruitment and give people a path from PPL to flying the ERJ-170/175 at Republic.

Flight Deck:
3. Buying another regional (Trans States seems most likely). Source: 18 Year Captain

In general multiple people have said Bedford is very good at this type of thing - getting people excited and talking about announcements/projects vaugley, letting people's imagination run and then sometimes nothing comes of it, or if something "Big" does happen it may not be that big of a deal to you personally or to the pilot group but is big for the company.

Hope that helps. Best Regional in the Industry IMO.
