Republic is so reliant on the northeast that if one thing changes (Envoy in LGA, reduction in EWR due to 550 coming in, etc.) it can affect the entire operation. 2020 will be interesting, if we don't actually see those airplanes Bedford ordered like the dude above said I think it's a sign we're in trouble.

I have no dog in this fight, FWIW - in my opinion I doubt YX pilots should be worried about losing AUX/AA flying. You still serve three important goals.
1. Whipsaw the other partners.
2. On-time performance in tough markets, thus helping goal number one.
3. Still cheaper than maineline bringing flying back in house.
You cost more than several of the other regionals sure enough, but you get put in more difficult markets because of it. Skywest and “preferred partners” cost less, they get softer markets. There is no need to start worrying.

I’m not too worried for the immediate to medium term future considering every time UA needs additional flying whether covering for other UAX carriers i.e IAD or IAH or for peak flying like SEA, GEG and SMF this month, we get it.
Seems like we’re a pretty integral part of the operation to me. But, I do work here and I want job security so maybe it’s my rose colored glasses.
