CRJ program?
I’ve heard CRJs are around the corner, coming from GoJet apparently? Was at the training center recently and apparently the CRJ program is nearing completion. Just looking for CKAs with CRJ experience now.

not sure which CKA is playing with this, or if they are running bets on "how long can I get a rumor on the internet" but this has been going on through the training center for the past 7 months.... waiting...

Recent comment from BB at an indoc meet and greet basically stated that the 50 seat market was not in YX’s future ...the 170/175 with present seat config is where they are committed in the future

DL is the airline that wanted Republic to have 700s. AA already has multiple regionals that have CRJs, and UA apparently wants little to do with 700s. AA and UA aren't going to approve anything at Republic that only benefits DL.

It’s s certain ground school instructor, who loves to hear himself talk. Regardless it’s just a rumor and not at all feasible for Republic. Why wouldn’t they just use the E175SC?

During my 3 day indoc the CFO clearly said Republic is "not interested" in CRJ flying. The company wants to keep and expand its core business - Ejet training, flying, maintenance.
Business-wise I can see a company drawing up risk assessments and financial estimates to explore the possibility. These reports keep employees (and competition) busy without committing to act.
But I'm a newb, I dont know what YX is doing. Would BB sign up to fly CRJs if that was the only if the only new flying he can get?
How would pilots view more flying on a different type?

CRJs at Republic just doesn't make sense. Personally what I think will probably happen with all the Delta flying is Endeavor will get either new 900SC to replace the 700s or get the 700s from Gojet and Republic will end up with the 175s from Compass. Delta doesn't seem interested anymore in making a 175 program at Endeavor cause they do not wanna pay the cost so I see you guys getting all that flying.

That’s actually not true. I talked to a cka the other day and they were told in their cka meetings this past November that Republic actually is working on a CRJ program. However when it’s done they’re “shelving” it, in other words they’re getting the program ready so that when other airline’s CRJ flying comes up for bidding Republic will have a program in place. All they’re doing now is getting ahead of the curve, for once.
