I still revert back to what Bedford said in a memo months ago - that he sees Republic as a niche regional in the northeast... that says it all.

Our IAD flying has picked up quite a bit ever since IAH closed, so it's all one big shuffle.
Management said it themselves, our Houston base never grew to what United claimed it would be, even before COVID hit.

736YX is registered to Republic Airways.
