So, Republic will use E170/175s to serve Aspen?

THAT will be interesting to see.

So, Republic will use E170/175s to serve Aspen?

Not if they want to survive the missed approach.

Thats fu@ked up. It says they get to transfer to Republic though.

Ummm....no, it doesn't. It says:

In September, when Lynx ceases operations, some customer service and maintenance employees will have the opportunity to continue with Republic or Frontier. The remaining positions will be eliminated and given hiring preference for open positions throughout the Republic Airways network.

That part about "hiring preference" will apply to flight crew.

That's simple, just don't go on the missed approach, runway in sight always.

Despite what the company might want, the Lynx pilots were "active" at acquisition. I'd imagine that they'd be integrated just the same.

What airports does Lynx go to now?

What does that Q burn the first hour? The 170 burns around 5,000 the first hour. Fuel is going to go back up....

You just know you want to take the Chalupa Bomber into ASE with 70+ pax in the middle of winter...

It takes more then 25 planes to break even on one type.. MX/parts/training..ect I guess they didnt want to invest in more Q's. 11 airplanes just isnt enough...
