Worst case for republic is being over staffed on the FO side, which will correct itself in 6 months. Our FO attrition far outpaces our captain attrition. Consolidation could mean something besides acquisition...
BB really, really wants Compass so there is always a chance this could be revisited, but I don't think there is a chance in France he is going to fly the XRs long term, and Hulas won't sell unless he dumps it all. So unless something changes or UAL magically finds a way to get scope relief, the deal is dead.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely hope something happens, but when less than 10 pure-civilian pilots get hired at Delta from Republic so far in 2018, it’s not exactly easy to be optimistic.

AA is retiring over 75% of its current seniority list by 2032. Anyone hired in the next 4-5 years can expect a 3-5 year wait for right seat of a widebody and about 4-6 years to upgrade to CA on a narrow body...

"In addition, the Company continues to work on finalizing its recent LoI signed at the Farnborough Airshow for 100 E175 aircraft for Republic Airways, with the expectation that a significant portion of these jets should enter the Company's backlog by the end of 2018."

Also looks like Skywest backed out of its order of 100 175 E2's.
