Republic orders 40 CSeries and options 40 more

Republic orders 40 CSeries and options 40 more
By David Kaminski-Morrow

US-based Republic Airways Holdings has ordered 40 Bombardier CSeries aircraft and placed options on 40 more.
The company has signed a purchase agreement for the CS300 variant of the twin-jet.
Republic Airways Holdings says the aircraft will be configured with 138 seats, in a single cabin arrangement.
The Indianapolis-based company owns several US operators including Chautauqua Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Lynx Aviation, Midwest Airlines, Republic Airlines and Shuttle America.
Deliveries are to begin in the second quarter of 2015. The aircraft will be fitted with Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engines and the carrier has signed an exclusive 15-year maintenance deal with the engine supplier.

RAH orders 80 brand new airplanes.
Pretty unusual for a company that's not an air carrier.

Just to point out, this isn't a new order, it's the only Republic order. The article is over a year old. I think your point was that Republic sure looks like an airline by buying airplanes.

Yup. Move along....

A company places an order for 80 passenger jets with 138 seats each.
Yet our union tells us with a straight face that this same company is definitely not --

"undertaking by any means, directly or indirectly, to provide air transportation."

Apparently up is down and black is white if you enforce scope clauses for ALPA.

Ya think?

138 seats - that sounds like quite a few.

Well, as long as they keep them off the CHQ and Shuttle certificates there's no conflict of interest, right?

Delta can just keep feeding them money.
