During my 3 day indoc the CFO clearly said Republic is "not interested" in CRJ flying. The company wants to keep and expand its core business - Ejet training, flying, maintenance.
Business-wise I can see a company drawing up risk assessments and financial estimates to explore the possibility. These reports keep employees (and competition) busy without committing to act.
But I'm a newb, I dont know what YX is doing. Would BB sign up to fly CRJs if that was the only if the only new flying he can get?
How would pilots view more flying on a different type?
