What I’ve been hearing for a longtime now from several people is that Republic was never meant to be long term or even grow in IAH. Republic was brought in back in 2018 because Mesa couldn’t staff planes properly, to the point where we had to park 2 airplanes.

United wasn’t happy at all and decided to give away flying for 15 airplanes to you. Now Mesa is properly staffed in the 175 and XJT will grow the 145 operations... what I don’t know is why Skywest is growing as well... seems to me that growth should go to you.
