Default Republic Airways to Fly Q400's for UAX

INDIANAPOLIS, May 14, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Republic Airways Holdings Inc.
(NASDAQ: RJET) today announced that its Republic Airlines subsidiary has reached
a tentative agreement to operate 32 Bombardier Q400 aircraft under the United
Express brand. The Capacity Purchase Agreement is expected to become effective
in the third quarter of 2012 and continue for approximately eight (8) years. The
tentative agreement includes 28 aircraft currently in operation at Colgan Air
and four aircraft currently operated by Republic in its brand division.

The agreement with Republic is contingent on completing negotiations and
reaching binding agreements with aircraft lessors and maintenance providers,
which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2012.

"We are confident our experience with the Q400
turboprop aircraft will translate to a level of service that will meet the high
expectations of United and their customers," said
Republic Chairman, President and CEO Bryan Bedford.
"We look forward to working with United on this
important project."

"We are pleased to reach this agreement with Republic,
which will allow United to deliver quality regional air service that our
customers expect and deserve," said Alexandria
Marren, senior vice president for Network Operations and United Express.

Indianapolis, Indiana, is an airline holding company that owns Chautauqua

How in *the hell* are they going to staff up that flying then?!

(not an attack on you...)

I just talked with a guy who interviewed at Republic, and he said they were absolutely adamant that they were N-O-T getting Qs. Someone is either holding out, or the left hand really does not know what the right hand is doing.

.10 says they can CHQ or start movin pilots over, plus theyve been hiring tons of Colgan pilots. Rumor is Delta is going to pull that flying in their attempt to reduce the 50 seaters, plus if I am not mistaken its already shrinking. So theres your pilots

When are we going to stand and be united as a pilot group and stop heading over to the airlines that just put us on furlough? If no one goes over, then they will have no one to fly the planes, sad how they know they can gut an airline and be able to staff another one, that just took your flying, now cheaper because everyone is going to be on first year pay! Sad industry we are in!
