Where RJET is headed
Republic spent the last five years being the kind of business nobody wanted to own. Regional carriers were the punching bags of US aviation, squeezed between majors that dictated rates and a pilot pool that kept getting poached upstream. That dynamic has flipped, and the market hasn't caught up. Republic flies roughly 1,300 daily flights under the American Eagle, Delta Connection, and United Express brands on fixed-fee contracts, meaning the majors carry the fuel and revenue risk while Republic gets paid to fly. When the binding constraint on US aviation becomes pilots and aircraft rather than passengers, the operator with 275 jets and a working academy in Indianapolis stops being a cost center and starts being leverage.
