Republic Questions

Haha, I know. It makes no sense. But "word on the street" is that Shuttle and Republic will never merge because of the contract that S5 has with Delta. Apparently, don't quote me, the deal that S5 has with Delta says that we cannot fly anything greater than 70 seats with another airline. On S5 we do all 70 seats except for Delta we do up to 76 .This is why Republic got the AMR flying (175's greater than 70 seats) and not Shuttle.

I just think they didn't want Shuttle to do the flying cause then we would have AA, DL, and UA benefits while YX would only have US and UA so someone was butthurt by that and pulled the plug on S5 despite having to open yet another base. Lol.

That would make sense. However isn't the word on the street that S5 and YX manuals are being revised to be exactly the same in order to facilitate a merger and save some money?

At least it would allow for more choices of where to be based for a few years until they close everything but IND and CMH.

Republic and Shuttle will not merge. Just did my PC with an ATP checkride and type on the ERJ 170 and ERJ 190... one of the managers was there and he told me the reason this "merger" might not happen is because of no competing clauses... and the reason why Shuttle did not get the flying...
And yes you get an ATP with no restrictions other than circling approaches in VMC only... apparently there is no time on the SIM to perform such maneuver...lol
