That being said, others have mentioned that the planes Republic has “purchased” don’t have contracts yet so they may be getting their production slots.

SkyWest has been concerting 700s to 65 seats. There has also been some buzz about Mesa possibly configuring the 900 to 65 seats but no official announcement.

Today we announced a new flying contract with American Airlines to own and operate 20 new E175s. Half of these planes are expected to be placed into service in late 2020 and half in 2021. Additionally, we expect to take delivery of six E175s which we will own and operate in the first half of 2020 for Delta under our previously announced agreement. These additional aircraft and agreements .............
Let me talk about our CRJ700s and our American partnership. As previously discussed, we announced an agreement to add 10 additional CRJ700s to that contract. We anticipate these aircraft being placed into our American system throughout this year. This will bring our fleet total to 70 CRJ700s under long-term contracts.
We have also agreed to purchase seven used CRJ700s from a third party. At year-end we had closed on two of the seven aircraft. We anticipate utilizing these aircraft through a combination of operating the aircraft for other partners and leasing the aircraft to a third party.

So it’s just assumed if we are bought by OO, that we’d be slung to the bottom? No merging between DOH? Pretty sure they didn’t work with the union over all, or any, of this.
I’d imagine hiring 400+ pilots and slinging them to the bottom would lose over half of them.

If compass ends up tanking, OO will just hire the pilots in, they will get salary based upon years of prior 121 experience up to 10 years.
If compass looses all the flying, what value would there be in there for another airline to purchase?

400 fully qualified pilots, cost saving and less attrition off the top of my head.
