But more United flying awarded to skywest and expressjet while Republic is left in the dark with stagnant bases in the very bases Skywest will operate those 175s. Is Republic turning in to nothing more than a northeast regional? Wonder what marketing will come up with after Skywest passes us as the largest 170 fleet...
It’s pretty simple. UAL loves low cost/low performance carriers. They’re upgrading the 145’s..... while everyone else is trying to find space in the desert for the 50 seaters. Kirby LOVES cheap outsourcing and backward thinking. From what I hear UA is very low on BB’s radar anyways.
But on a side note, who cares??
