The perk of a place like GoJet, in my opinion, is where you could be in 2.5 years... moving on to a bigger company, bigger aircraft. At Republic, you would just be upgrading to Captain. At GoJet, you could be nearing 1,000 PIC and moving on to somewhere like Atlas, etc. Getting PIC turbine time is one of my main goals.
But, if GoJet doesn't exist in 1.5 years than the joke would be on me. Or if you upgrade to Captain on the CRJ and then had to retrain on the 175 and go back to FO.

Bedford will get his expansion of Delta flying to the west coast with Compass, which is all he was really after in the first place. The only interest he has in Blowjet are the 25 700s he can turn into 170s. The Comair planes will be gone within the Delta system just as soon as Delta can redistribute the flying.

Your last sentence reaffirms exactly what I have already said. If Delta wants the old CRJ's at Gojets gone, they will be replaced by Republic 175s or other brand new aircraft.

The DIP financing they provided that always gets talked about was only for operations during BK. The stipulations of it was that it had to be paid back prior to exiting BK. Republic has always been a profitable airline, even leading up to the BK. It hadn't had a loss in like 5 year prior to BK.

With the A220 coming online. They can put 717’s on 900 routes. 900’s go to 700 routes... they don’t need to order replacements RJ’s for gojet DL aircraft...

When the Bombardier "C" was announced, DAL pilots said that it would replace the larger RJs, and the larger RJs would replace 50 seat RJs.
That info was from a while ago...not recent. I do believe that DAL wants to reduce the number of 50 seat RJs in their system.
As a mostly DAL passenger (for domestic flights) I am hopeful that I will be flying on less 50 seaters, and more A-220s...
