Lynx Q400's to stick around( until 04/11 at least). Flights to ASE, DRO and COS. There is nothing like a prop for hot and high work.

Republic to continue Q400 operations

Republic Airways will continue operating Q400s until at least April of 2011.

The plan for continued Q400 operation after Oct. 1 is to incorporate the Lynx operating certificate into that of Republic Airlines. As soon as the certificate-integration process has been completed, Lynx Aviation, along with its operating certificate, will no longer exist, even though Q400s will continue to operate as part of Republic Airlines.

At a high level, the decision to continue Q400 operations means the following:
§ The majority of Lynx employees will have the option of becoming Republic Airlines’ employees when the certificate integration process is complete (expected by late October or November);
§ Lynx customer service agents will become Frontier Airlines employees on Oct. 1 as originally planned;
§ Republic Airlines’ existing management team in Indianapolis will assume the management responsibilities and functions for continued Q400 operations when the certificate-integration process is complete;
§ SOC support for continued Q400 operations will be Indianapolis based, along with most other Q400 support functions, effective around Oct. 1;
§ The ASE station will remain open with one departure per day from Oct. 1 – Nov. 15, two departures per day Nov. 18 – Dec. 15, and three to four daily departures from Dec. 16 through April 2011; and
§ Q400s will generally operate two lines of flying from DEN to ASE, DRO, COS and possibly one other destination.

Relocation assistance will be provided for those Lynx employees who are offered positions within Republic that require them to move. Those employees who opt to be released as originally planned will receive payment under their applicable severance or bonus plan.

It is impossible to loose money. You can however be losing money, but RJET is not.

How many A/C? doesn't seem they will have a large enough fleet to make it pay. Might be kept around for a possible sale down the road.

I assume they will get hired as new bottom seniored employees at RW.
but they will get new seniority number once SLI completes, we dont
know when though...

 

[labbats]

Does Republic have new payrates for them if they get rehired then? Last I heard the Lynx captains topped out around $55/hr. Unbelievable.
