The accuracy of this statement. I’ve seen a mainline pilot throw a fit over one guy getting own metal priority when he got left behind. The argument was “check the registration, I guarantee it says American Airlines. That’s my plane!” It actually said US Airways, but that’s neither here nor there.

I believe there are a few HQ birds that are owned by banks due to the bankruptcy, but they were originally purchased by Republic.
We own our planes, none of our planes are leased. There are zero references of any type of lease deals with republic from any major leasing company.
If we leased them, we would be rolling the fleet over. The fact that we are still operating old ass 170's that are soon getting the new epic load that will require a massive hardware upgrade to do so and we are paying for that should be pretty obvious we own them.

Republic already makes it incredibly difficult on commuters with a terrible commuter policy being manipulated by the chief pilot office, coding almost every PCM to UNA.
That, along with this, makes commuting to your job at republic a nightmare. I would think long and hard if I were a prospective pilot looking at different regionals. ESPECIALLY if you plan on commuting to base with republic.
I understand the union wants a reciprocal agreement, but they just put a target on our back.
