Republic to operate 190s for us airways?

The thread should read; Parker selling aircraft to raise capital.

Dont be fooled, they've pawned everything they have, the global markets for EJets is strong.

Old Dougy is trying to figure out how to pay the electric bill. I dont buy the ASM rhetoric. Burn the furniture to stoke the stoves.

Unfortunately I can easily see your Airbus's mixed up in this as well if you connect the dots. Everyone could be getting what they want.

Totally plausible. Don't even need a tinfoil hat. Bedford and Parker love deals, and this is right up their alley.

Just a couple far flung ideas. BB wants Frontier to operate mostly 190's. So he trades Airways 190's for some of the Airbuses that are to be Republics shortly. This makes Dougy happy as he gets more seats for less planes driving down his costs, and it makes BB happy as he will get to screw the Frontier Airbus drivers and put more cheap labor in his Frontier operation.
Another idea is that Midwest did initially have 25 B717's. RAH's Midwest operation gets replaced completely with 190's and the rag tag of 145's, 170's, and 190's is not an issue any more. This would make a lot of sense due to the business model of Midwest giving great service to their customers. No business man paying $700 for a ticket wants to get on a EMB-135 from MKE-LGA. Now all RAH has to do is actually hire somewhat descent FA's and pay them as such.
This will also free up 145's and 170's to operate for the rest of the code share operations and keep the $$$ source flowing.
Just another possibility
