E175 by Republic. 3 empty seats in FC and only ~50 on board overall.
Still no PDB.

Another Republic E175 flight with no PDB.

Anyone ever get them on Republic?

So, the one I just posted is said to be Republic. Although that's odd as it used to be GoJet.
How can one check to make sure?

Flight status shows which UAX operator.
(shown at bottom)

Aside: GoJet does not operate E175.

I batted 1/3 yesterday, got PDB on mainline (ORD-SFO). UAX, Gojet and Skywest, did not provide PDBs.

Dang, you're right! Should have been a clue right there.
Wondering now if GoJet was replaced with Republic or if they're just sharing the load.

Thanks for the insight! :tu:

Much better service on return:
BUR-DEN: took Prosecco
DEN-IAD: took water
IAD-RIC: nothing with 40 minute delayed departure. FA saved a huge bottle of water (2 liters?) to take it home. She rode the same shuttle to parking lot with me.

4/18 UA 6271 CVG-IAD EMB-175: Water only
4/18 UA 444 IAD-RDU A-320: OJ or Water

Is there a reason why SkyWest can't even off a small swig of room temperature water for first class pre-departure?

paule123 Apr 24, 2023 3:22 pm

4/11 UA 2112 CLE-ORD B737 9 a.m. departure - choice of water or OJ
4/22 UA 664 ORD-CLE B737 2 p.m. departure - no PDB. Plane at the gate well in advance. Fully boarded 15 minutes before scheduled departure. No effort made. FA overheard complaining about his long day. :rolleyes:

4/26 ICT-IAH CRJ-900 (Mesa) :td: — plenty of time to do a PDB, though nothing offered.
4/26 IAH-RDU E175 :tu: — Friendly FA, though only offered water. Certainly better than nothing.

04/30 UA 1534 EWR-FLL: PDB offered, anything from the bar (during a ramp closure due to lightning).

5/8/23 - UA 2225 (ALB-ORD) PDB of OJ, water, Coffee. the FA seemed like a seasoned one. Very friendly, but also very strict to the rules (only one drink at a time, no doubles, etc.) I did not dare ask for anything else for PDB. Once in the air, fairly attentive with multiple passes and very friendly.
UA 4778 (ORD-FAR) which I think is/was Skywest? No PDB, despite being ready for about 15 minutes before door closed. Once in the air, service was OK, with multiple passes.
