I don’t know where republic will get DECs from. They will just go to an LCC or legacy. It’s going to get very bad at the regionals.

My tin hat estimate is that either the order was sold or the delivery position of the aircraft were sold to the code shares for extra flying or better rates for the fixed fee routes.

yeah enough with this DEC nonsense, it will not solve the problem. RPA can try to get DECs all they want but this is not the right environment for it. DECs only work when that certain regional is growing faster than other regionals and have shorter upgrade times. It is much better for career progression to upgrade at your own regional (we all have the same upgrade times now) and suck it up for a year or two (or less in some cases) until you get a phone call from something better.
