Yep. Base staffing levels (CAs) as of 9/16: LGA - 150, EWR - 127, CMH - 145, IND - 190, ORD - 80...
Chicago has been our biggest base by departures throughout COVID, the most departures per day by far. The only base that has actually seen any growth. Even with that Republic still can't staff it the way it should be. The fact that it takes 10+ years to hold it as a captain AND THEN still be on reserve is pathetic. If that doesn't show what Republic thinks of Chicago I don't know what will. Republic has been retreating to the northeast and outstation regional model since this started. Hard to believe Republic will be anything more than a northeast regional after this.
