Not to worry, everyone get the email saying all is well and CP is going to stay? That matter is settled, so go ahead and file that email away along with the one that said MSP is not closing. Happy day y'all!

It doesn’t matter what republic Runs. We have 63 E170’s plus some older E175’s that all have the old processors. We sued Embraer over them trying to stop support of the older processors. It will cost 200K to upgrade each aircraft with new processors, which I think will end up happening over time. All of our planes run the same epic load, so the newer planes are dumbed down. But there is talk that the newest 100 aircraft would be fully upgraded.
As for sim space, Repblic is breaking ground on a new training center and sim facility in Indy this quarter. We have two additional sims being built for us as well. We already own 4 sims, plus these two new ones and then the Embraer sim useage once deliveries start. Between the pilots already in the pipeline and all the new hire classes they have filled from now until December, we would be able to staff any aircraft thrown our way. When I joined two years ago, we had 9.5-10 pilots per aircraft, we currently have over 12 and in that same time frame we added 26 aircraft to the fleet.
And don’t think our lack of presence on the west coast currently means anything. Management has said they want to fly on the west coast. They also know that it is a drawback for recruitment that we don’t have any west bases. The only thing stopping it is they haven’t secured enough flying to set up the structure needed to support it. I however believe they are willing to do that.
Nothing makes me sick like a young regional FO drooling over the thought of seeing 700 fellow pilots hit the street so his company can expand. The kool aid in this post is tangible. Excitement is understandable but why come to our house to say things like this? Several others (OO included) have done the same thing in this thread and it’s kind of sad. This behavior reminds me of the ‘ERAU CFI’s’ Facebook page that is now full of regional FO’s arguing which plane is better making claims like “well the CRJ can go M.01 faster, and “at least my passengers don’t have to gate check”
Besides, half of us CPZ guys are here because a few years ago XY was a burning dumpster fire with the worst QOL since Comair. Oh how things change
