South Florida is a tough commute. Probably LGA, but it will be tough.

Probably has more to do with us picking up the slack from the departure of Air Whiskey via fly through routes.

Pretty simple certification to get, and AA should be able to expedite the process if they need you guys qualified. Republic did online training for the pilots initial for EOW. I believe FA had to complete some hands on training though. I’m sure this time next year you guys will be approved and flying routes.

It’s not that rigorous. Republic had issues because the POI at the time was a micro manager. Honestly a year is probably over estimating the timeline. A lot depends on how far along they are in the process now, but easily with 1 year. No idea what paperwork you’re talking about, but the routes are pretty much canned. isn’t Panam in 1950.
They use to fly the ATR EOW, so I would imagine they have some knowledge about the process. Many of the routes Republic does now, were ATR routes 10 years ago.
