Or Gojets is going TU and some of these will replace their 700s. Or Mesa is losing their United flying in those 700s and replacing them with E175s. Seems common theme here is Delta and United want to convert 700s into Ejets

Committing to the LOI of 100 airframes commits Embraer to making planes for Republic. That means that new orders que behind. Same for the options, depending on the exercise date. There is more to the announcement than just "oh, we're getting airframes." Committing the manufacturer prioritizes the assembly line to the customer. there are nuances to that...fine print, etc., but BB looks like he's thought it through.
There has been no information regarding additional fleet or replacement airframes. Republic still has many of its original Shuttle America and Mid Atlantic (RW and MA/MD) E170 airframes with double digit serial numbers. Wouldn't be surprised to see them replaced.
School House indicated that they're spooling for 100+ new hires a month after September. Sim time is blocked full. Training just floated another memo for more Training Instructors. They've outgrown the new training center and are looking for options.

Apparently in the next couple of years they are looking at building a new training center with sims and a hotel CLOSER to the airport.

I know where the training center is... That is why I capitalized it all. I’ve heard another one even closer due to outgrowing the current (slightly used) one.

Republic orders 100 E175s
Does this order help the possibility RPA could buy TSA Holding, keep Compass get into LAX and the west to better compete with SkyPest, replace GoJet CR7, and later 1 for 1 swap the remaining orders, plus options delivery for Tran States Airlines E145s, while replacing your older E175s or if scope flexibility arises execute the E2 amendment in the purchase option.
Could that fit into the realm of possibilities for regional shrinkage? AA, UAL, DL have a significant stake in RPA post bankruptcy anyways, your viability is assured for the next 10yrs (if Trump doesn’t drop a Nuke on Iran for doing what both Iran and Trump do best, talk S*+t)
