Here's the "quality" product. 
Republic orders 40 CSeries and options 40 more
Republic orders 40 CSeries and options 40 more
By David Kaminski-Morrow
US-based Republic Airways Holdings has ordered 40 Bombardier CSeries aircraft and placed options on 40 more.
The company has signed a purchase agreement for the CS300 variant of the twin-jet.
Republic Airways Holdings says the aircraft will be configured with 138 seats, in a single cabin arrangement.
The Indianapolis-based company owns several US operators including Chautauqua Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Lynx Aviation, Midwest Airlines, Republic Airlines and Shuttle America.
Deliveries are to begin in the second quarter of 2015. The aircraft will be fitted with Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engines and the carrier has signed an exclusive 15-year maintenance deal with the engine supplier.

Yup. Move along....
A company places an order for 80 passenger jets with 138 seats each.
Yet our union tells us with a straight face that this same company is definitely not --
"undertaking by any means, directly or indirectly, to provide air transportation."
Apparently up is down and black is white if you enforce scope clauses for ALPA.
Ya think?

I think your point was that Republic sure looks like an airline by buying airplanes.

Well, as long as they keep them off the CHQ and Shuttle certificates there's no conflict of interest, right?
Delta can just keep feeding them money.

Whats so hard to understand? Together Delta, the non existent RAHs largest customer by traffic, along with American, UsAir and CAL are all chiping in to help RAH grow Frontier/Midwest into viable stand alone competition. They do this by replacing their own employees with those who have zero, nada, zilch commitment to their airlines and using properties maintained by the lowest bidder of the lowest bidder.
And all of the union lawyers of the unions whose contracts are being violated are too afriad to question a judgement from years ago.
It makes complete sense: sell your people, rent part time replacements, build your competition, profit in the short run.

Yep-follow the money. It's in Bombardier's best interest that republic take these and future orders. There's big money working here.
