It seems republic favors the outstation base model. With bases like Cmh ind pit sdf.. along with them closing Mia and iah. They do have ord and jfk/ewr but I’d wager Dtw won’t be happening for them especially since they converted 20ish delta birds to American and Dtw is a delta fortress. Just my guess.

I’m assuming your talking about Key west and not Eagle Creek... but HHH is only 4700ft for LDA, so it’s still shorter than Key West. Why would DL route Republic through ATL via LEX only to serve HHH when they had an airframe that could do it? It makes no sense to do that. If the CRj700 could do it why doesn’t Mesa fly it into their from IAD instead of a 175. Why doesn’t PSA fly it into there from CLT? As far as im aware there has never been a single CRJ operation into HHH. We were the first Jet service into there with the 175 for AA replacing the Q300.
I’ve always been told Bombardier cheaped out on their certification effort and did not do a full certification on their landing performance on the 700 and that is why the E170/175 is used into shorter runways where as the CRj700 is used in places that needs greater performance in the air like Aspen.
