The only thing stopping them at the moment from buying more aircraft is most airlines have adequate capacity or too much capacity. Once they begin parking their older aircraft, they´ll begin looking for partners to pick up the market share. These partners will need to provide a modern, economical and reliable service. Republic fits the bill.
