Breakdown of operation by carrier
In Pre-Corona times, when operations were normal, what was the breakdown of Republic flying by carrier as a percentage? Was it an even split (33% UA, 33% DL, 33% AA) or was there one carrier that had a higher percentage than the other two? I know flying and routes change and there's the regional shuffle every now and then but if you took a snapshot of operations December 2019, what would it look like?

Easiest way to answer this question is that we have 85 American planes, 65 United planes, and 68 Delta planes, 30 of those came from Compass. Plus 3 Republic branded planes used as spares for all codeshares. So math states about 40% American, 29% United 31% Delta.
This was Pre Corona. The compass airplanes for Delta may not come back, and Delta has been a lot slower adding back flying than American and United has. So how the cookie will crumble after this is said and done and passenger loads stabilize again is to be determined.

However now while we’re operating almost all our aircraft for AA and United (and only 13 for DL) the hours per plane is about 20-25% of the normal daily hours.

Actually, we never took delivery of the last 14 compass 175’s and 6 170’s for DL have come off lease. So currently, if they all came back on line there would be 45 planes operating for DL. We’ve never operated more than 78 planes in a month for AA since the bankruptcy and never more than 61 for United. The remainder are the spares accounting for aircraft cycling through heavy checks, paint shops, etc etc.

The last planes slated for us from Compass are still assigned to us. So unless something changes, they should be expected on property once everything recovers. And I don’t think 14 is the correct number. I seem to remember one of the QRPs announcing the 17th hitting the line already and there being 2-3 more going through conformity checks.

(And yes. I know this situation and corporate statements are as fluid as the day after a bad night at Taco Hell!)

Demand will return and eventually surpass what it was in 2019. Aviation has always rebounded, it’s just a matter of time.
