From the Charlotte Observer:
Republic Airways to fly for US Airways Express
AIRLINES
Republic Airways said Tuesday it plans to start flying 28 70-seat Embraer 170 jets for US Airways Express beginning next month. The Indianapolis-based company agreed to buy the planes from US Airways, plus takeoff and landing slots at major airports, as part of a $100 million deal. The planes fly mostly out of Washington, although that could change after US Airways completes its planned merger with America West by early October. Labor unions have objected to the planned sale because it is unclear what would happen to the US Airways workers who now operate the planes
