Perhaps the aircraft they are counting on to start this service has a creeping availability delay, and this is safer then just pushing the start date out a week or two at a time.
Hopefully they didn't have to reaccomodate a ton of customers with this delay.
Republic's Scheduling Department could definately use some improvement. Some of the changes to my itineraries recently have been frustrating.
If their goal is to win back customers and make things more difficult for the competition, they can start by having reliable schedules. Sometimes Midwest is its own worst enemy. I'm sure the call center was swamped yet again yesterday with less than happy customers.
