American Airlines Receives Their First Embraer 175
American Receives Their First E175 today at Chicago- O'Hare! Via @airlinegeeks (bit.ly) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
"American" didn't receive anything. Republic did.
You are correct, sir, but, that article said that in that manner to avoid confusion. It is complicated to write about RJs with all the "operated by" and stuff like that! :-)
You know, I thought that too. But, if you go to planespotters.net, it shows American Eagle as receiving the aircraft, while Republics shows no new deliveries, just their existing fleet of 170/175's. Seemed weird to me:

It is an American Eagle aircraft, operated by Republic. It is so annoying to explain! :-)
I see the article says the airplane will be operated by Republic Airways under the American Eagle logo. The real American Eagle crews, that have been though thick and thin with American, are getting the screws put to them again with the deal put together by US Air and American to have Republic fly these. The long time American Eagle crews deserve better. Just the view from here, for what it is worth, or not.

Agreed, fully, it is crazy, of all things, they should be operated by AE.
