History

US Airways' pilots had a "scope clause" prohibiting the airline from operating large regional jets such as the Embraer 170. The airline negotiated around this clause by offering flight deck jobs to laid-off US Airways pilots, in a program known as "Jets for Jobs." This agreement created a subsidiary, MidAtlantic Airways. As part of US Airways' bankruptcy restructuring, the 25 E170s delivered to MidAtlantic were transferred to Republic, which operates them along with additional newly-delivered aircraft on order under a conventional Express carrier contract. On March 6, 2006 Republic Airlines announced it plans to establish an overnight maintenance facility and flight crew base at Pittsburgh International Airport, creating as many as 140 jobs by the end of 2006. On January 11, 2007, Frontier Airlines announced it had signed an 11-year service agreement with Republic Airlines. Under the agreement, Republic will operate 15 Embraer 170 aircraft and 2 Embraer 175 aircraft for the Frontier Airlines operations. Republic delivered its first aircraft in March 2007, and the remaining 16 aircraft will join the fleet by December 2008.
