The idea of RAH purchasing them in and of itself is not impossible, but flying them for any US legacy carrier is.

Ive had maint. in CMH tell me they have been stocking parts for the 190, but I see their rumors in the same light as F/A rumors. I do not want to see 190s here...but id rather see them here then Mesa/GoJets

And which US legacy carrier is allowing that right now...I forget.

is the current scope cutoff 90 seats? Believe the 2 class 190 is 94 seats, while the CRJ9's are 88 seats....

Didn't RAH just recently apply for a Cert to fly self branded?

Mister Hat 04-05-2009 01:01 PM

Yeah, branded flying works great for regionals! Hurry up Republic, do it!

USairways 2 class 190s are 99 seats, crj900/emb175 are 86

It wouldn't be easy to pull off, but flying big embraer's might make it a little more feasable....not easy non the less, and you'd have to walk lightly as to not tread on big brother.

Shuttle America did, Republic certificate has had authorization for branded for years, and has wisely chosen not to do so. I know we have been doing alot of military charters and hear rumors of a semi-scheduled vacation charter

It's for Pan Am, not Eastern.
