No. They were working another flight that got in late and scheduled to deadhead on that flight. They ran over to the new gate but because they were late their seats were given away. They were scheduled to work the first flight the next day from SDF-ORD. If they missed the deadhead the flight in the morning would have cancelled due to not having enough rest.
Republic will not reposition crews on one codeshare to work another.
