Remind me again why United is supposedly giving additional flying/aircraft to XJT?
If I recall correctly Republic was cancelling a LARGE majority of their flights for United, Delta and American a couple of years ago. You had planes parked everywhere because you had no one to fly them. Republic was the dying joke of the industry. It does not take much to turn things around when United or others want it to. We shall know soon..
