Head of flight dept. acknowledged that we have everything ready to go for a 175 on property up to the point where you actually need a 175 on property to complete the process...

Lol. Keep telling yourself that xjt is ready for 175's. Do people not understand what it takes to add an airframe? Do you not understand that these 50 planes are purchased by RAH and under contract with UA? A contract. As in, locked in.

So United can not break the contract if Republic can't staff the aircraft? They will just have a bunch of pretty looking E-175 paperweights all over the ramp sitting dormant and nothing United can do about it? Isn't this exactly what we are talking about here, Republic's apparent inability to staff it upcoming growth?

What incentive do the other Express/Connection carriers with no staffing issues have for covering the flying RJET already can't handle on May 6th, forget July 1st. There is none.

The gentleman from XJT is correct sir. The E170 program has been completed for some time now to the point of needing the actual plane to continue. Not every regional operates like bedford's big top circus. Some think ahead.

I do hope nobody will fall for the lipstick on the pig routine. Republic will never be a good place to work unless they do a giant lav dump in hq. WH was just the tip of the iceberg.

BB: "ok, I'll get back to you. " (oh ******** that's a lot of money). "Ok delta, we'll keep flying them until the end of the contract"

Extended THIRTY EIGHT 145's to 2021 AND awarded 9 more 175's.

So minus 30 Dash-8s, add 50 175s for United, 9 more for (Delta?), plus maintaining current 145 compliment?
