It wouldn’t surprise me if we got those 900s. I saw one with a PQ tail out of LGA the other day.

Wait, Skywest is flying 900s into LGA for DL?

The flying split will be 44% 9E, 28% RW/OO each.

They flew one in the other day to cover for an E175 wth a MX issue. But don’t expect to see OO 900s in LGA as a common thing.

There is no path for YX (that's Republic now, not RW) to 28% without either the Compass birds or the GoJet birds. And no path for OO to 28% without giving up airplanes, even if you exclude 50 seat flying...

I do, however, vividly remember being in recurrent class a day or two after that announcement. Wayne Heller himself came in to talk to us, I imagine since he knew that spirits would be high. He told us that before they were able to secure those additional delivery slots, Republic had been in talks with Bombardier to buy CRJ 900s to do that flying.

If Bedford sees a way to make more money or better position his company, nothing is off the table.

Well I can remember the day when BB had to take the old Independence Air CRJs out of the desert to cover the CO flying when Expressjet kept 60ish EMB 145s as branded flying instead of returning them to Continental for RP to fly. BB came in during a break in recurrent training, and when asked if this meant we would be getting more Bombardier products, he said the CRJs would only be on the certificate until the day came he could send them back to the desert and replace them with EMB 145s. He then went on to elaborate on how inferior the Bombardier CRJ products were in comparison to the 145 and 175.

Not saying BB wouldn't do anything to make money, but he hates CRJs, and that came right out of BBs mouth.

If this actually takes place. Realize 9e pilots have no say at all. We haven’t undercut anyone. Exactly the opposite.

Making sure no one forgets that we hold the moral (and financial) high ground, is probably not what he had in mind by not being douches about it.
