The whole program was scrapped because certifying the planes would mean they couldn’t use them for Canada flying out of Dallas. The logistics would have been an issue.

Envoy flies to YYC from DFW. 1,523 miles.

PHL-OMA is barely 1,000 miles.

I wonder how much weight it would be? Republic only has life vests on their aircraft and they have the 160 mile exemption. I think that’s what we had for the ATR as well isn’t it? Just doing that couldn’t add too much weight.

It's over 600 pounds.

Each vest and plastic container is almost 8 lbs? That’s nuts. Oh well. Let Republic have MIA, we have cool lanyards.

We do DFW-YYZ too. And the new California flying is just as much as YYC almost.

Republic isn't going anywhere anytime soon because they are partially owned by AAG, Delta, and United as part of their most recent bankruptcy restructuring, and their contacts are secured as part of that agreement.

The slides are different too, bigger and probably heavier.

A billion dollar corporation cant a afford the cost and savings by in house flying but a non w/o can afford it and make profits from aag.
What a concept.
