FA union call just announced MCI and IAH are closing October 1st. Sad day for those crews after years of rumors.

Just FA's? or both FA's and Pilots?

Bases are shutting down, so both.

Don't ever go to work at Republic because you like a base. Sad how they open and close them all the time!

They haven’t closed a base for awhile and during these times it’s expected to happen. OO opens and closes bases just as often, this is not something unique to just YX.

That is not a republic thing it’s a regional airline feature.

And has been since the beginning of time back in my day when they were called commuter airlines.

Hi all. I'm nearing my time as a CFI and was getting ready to send out apps before everything paused. Republic was at the top of my list specifically for Houston. Is IAH still planning on closing? If so, does that mean Republic will primarily be a northeast airline? Sorry I'm still new at this and just trying to get as much info as possible for when hiring starts again. I really don't want to commute, so I guess Skywest would be my next choice but the your pilot contract and Houston was what put it at the top of my list. But commuting indefinitely is not an option for me. Just curious if you guys have heard from the company if closing Houston is temporary or a permanent thing. I also saw Envoy is opening a 175 base in MIA, is that the writing on the wall that MIA will close too? I'm nervous about joining a regional that is closing bases. Thanks.

Houston is gone.

IAH is closing. If you don’t want to commute and don’t live in the northeast corridor rp probably isn’t the regional for you. No one knows what will happen in Miami except for AA. Good luck with your decision.
