Likely, US Airways will create some flying for Republic. Republic management helped out Airways management in the past, and I would expect the favor will be returned.
From where? Maybe park some of the older 737s and furlough some mainline guys so RAH can do the flying with 170s? Yeah, theres an idea I'm sure we can all get behind
Hate to break it to you but in the current economic environment (or ANY economic environment for that matter) no company is just gonna "create" flying because a regional partner who "helped them out in the past" has excess airplanes laying around. Get real. It's not personal, it's business.
