Just wait. Tomorrow, there will be another 40 post thread about the same topic. And the next day, and the next, and the next, until either it happens, or someone else buys Comair.

Hey, rumors are free on Flightinfo (sorta!) and worth every penny of it. No harm done: if it wasn't for the BS on here there'd be very little point in stopping by.

It just isn't going to happen until the labor groups take their cut. Then it will happen.

Republic Secures Follow-On Business With US Airways
Aviation Daily
07/25/2006, page 06

Lori Ranson

Republic Airways Holdings has brokered a deal with US Airways that allows the company to potentially source 20 of the planes it needs for its new deal with Continental and finalizes additional flying from its Tempe, Ariz.-based partner for 30 additional 86-seat Embraer 175s.

Discussions surrounding Republic's flying larger planes for US Airways have been taking place over the last couple of months (DAILY , May 9), and once they concluded, US Airways transferred to Republic the right to buy 30 planes from Embraer that were part of the airframer's amended deal with US Airways.

The 175s are slated to replace 20 50-seat Embraer ERJ-145s Republic subsidiary Chautauqua flies as US Airways Express, with the 10 remaining aircraft pegged to replace other retiring planes in US Airways' fleet or to limited growth in 2008.

Analysts at Raymond James believe Republic will use the ERJ-145s exiting its US Airways flying for its new deal with Continental, which entails flying 44 planes as Continental Express, with "the remaining 24 aircraft likely to be sourced from used CRJ-200s currently available in the after-market." All the planes flown by Republic's subsidiaries -- Republic Airlines, Chautauqua and Shuttle America -- are Embraer aircraft.

The analysts also estimate Republic "took a slight haircut" on previously agreed operating margins to lock in the business with Continental. Chautauqua starts flights as Continental Express in January 2007.

Republic plans to fly the 86-seat Embraer 175s for US Airways in a single class configuration. Those planes are scheduled to enter service in 2007, with a planned delivery schedule of one to two planes per month through the summer of 2008. -LR

"All the planes flown by Republic's subsidiaries -- Republic Airlines, Chautauqua and Shuttle America -- are Embraer aircraft."

This statement seems to lend as much credence. They listed all of their subsidiaries, and said they are only flying Embraer aircraft. Who then, will be flying the CRJ's?

Perhaps this is just a slip of the PR person writing the story.

As of right NOW... That statement is 100% accurate.

They were just pointing out that it will be a new type to RAH. There are plenty of 50 seat CRJ's on the market besides COMAIR, besides, it only gives them the option of using CRJ's if ERJ's aren't available, however, per a company memo from BB, 20 ERJ's are coming from CHQ's US Airways flying (being replaced by 175's on the RW cert) and 24 more ERJ's from a 3rd party, so he has his 44. You guys are digging way too deep in this stuff.

Some brain matter has been lost there, or possibly a drop or two on the skull as it was still hardening.

Not that I want to contribute to this stupid rumor, but BB's memo doesn't say this at all.

 

[The Drizzle]

but he was carried to PHL, to go on to Scotland, to negotiate leases of some sort........why scotland?!? i have no idea. and the memo only says he is working on financing terms on 24 more RJs, not ERJs

 

[fugghedabowdit]

Royal Bank of Scotland holds many Comair leases.

That Royal Bank of Scotland is a british based firm not Scotland as it says in the name. They have a large presence in England and Ireland. They are also Citizens bank in the United States. I've done alot of traveling to Europe.
