Was this on YX? Because we own all of our AA birds. Sorry old guy.

We own all of our birds actually.

Not true. The late 700YX birds are owned by United (after bankruptcy) and 870-876RW are compass transfers that are owned by delta. The rest are owned by us.

No, one of the AA WO. I was just creeping on the thread after reading through the other one. Just wanted to share a story.

*MOST* with the exception of a handful of random airframes we picked up along the way.

Actually the lessors own them. We just hold the leases.

Only the last 12 UA planes are owned by United. The last 6 170's I think we might have actually bought off of Delta. We scrapped the burned one and kept the parts, not delta. They are also all registered to Republic, not Delta.

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.
