Will the call sign be "Midex" or "Brickyard"?
Will you watch the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions on Sunday? Only if coach Eric Mangini resigned after a loss.

Don't they need to do proving runs first...??? Those flight numbers and routes sure read like that is what they are doing. Besides, the press release said revenue service would not start till mid Aug or early Sept.

No, they are live flights. Tomorrow 2312 departs MKE at 1350 arrives CMH at 1628 as 2107. Friday will include ATL. The schedule willl be that way next week M-F. This is mainly to get crews and stations prepared. The website will not relflect the 190, this will only be shown internally until the LAX flights start.

Your post makes no sense at all. You first said these are revenue flights, but now added these flights are to 'get the bases ready'...? Yet they have not done proving runs... so how can these be revenue...? But yet your post reads as though these are proving runs due to the flight numbers, the M-F schedule and the 'internal only' flight schedule

Quoting JBo (Reply 14): I don't think anybody does actual proving runs anymore.
This is not true. If an airline is adding a derivative of the same fleet type, then they are generally not required. If adding an entirely different fleet type, then they are absolutely required by the FAA. It is likely that since Republic already operates the 170/175, the 190 is considered a derivative and proving runs are not necessary.
Also, sometimes airlines put new aircraft types on short distance trips initially to gain experience with them before they begin the longer routes they were intended for. This is true with new long range widebody types when added by airlines as new fleet types.
35 years of American Trans Air/ATA Airlines, 1973-2008. A great little airline that will not be soon forgotten.

Again.. These flights are live revenue flights. The reason Republic is flying it early is to get some time on the airframe and get crews/stations familiar with they aircraft before launching the MKE/LAX run.
midwestairlines.com, expedia, etc are not going to be showing the flights as a 190 during this "break-in" period.

The flight numbers are acutal flight numbers used for the 170 on these routes.. Basically is a change of equipment from what we use on those flights. 2107 is normally an E170, however tommorrow, Friday and M-F next week it will be operated with E190 equipment.

Quoting Yx302 (Reply 6): Funny i posted this a couple days ago and it was removed from the forum. I dont get it.
Don't feel bad about being cut, I've had 3 now deleted only to have someone else post it by the next day or so.
I miss the 60's & 70's when you felt like a guest on the plane not cattle like today

Only once they did, reason given was given was that a First Class member posted a thread very similar to mind with-in 30 minutes of mine.

yeah mine was stated as not specific enough. I titled it MKE Spotters. Even though ive seen that title used before. Unless there was a recent post with same title, i dont know.

A 1:38 flight time MKE-CMH??? I think not. You got your times confused.
Flightaware doesn't list gate to gate times - they list filed flight times.

31 JBird: You are right. There are many pilots on the street (not just YX pilots) as a result of Republic pilots willing to do there jobs for them. I realize i
32 JpetekYXMD80: Here she is around noon today, snapped these from C concourse.
33 Yx302: Anyone else notice the "connect". That wasnt on there in its previous pictures. I looked at it up close and it seems to be a temporary decal. any idea
34 MKENut: I noticed that right away too. What gives here? Is it going to be called Midwest Connect from now on?
35 N917me: I believe if it is called "Midwest" then the YX pilots have to fly it.. by slapping the small "Connect" on there it allows the Republic pilots to fly
36 Captaink: Don't try to figure it out. The moderators leave very confused at times.. LOL
37 N917me: As promised, here is the link to the pics of the E190 while in CMH today. There are interior and exterior pics http://gallery.me.com/yxskip#100304
38 SurfandSnow: My LAX-MKE E-190 flight is coming up on August 5th. I am looking forward to it
39 JBo: More than likely since the aircraft are on the RW certificate, they have to be branded as Midwest Connect. I think once Midwest gets fully integrated
40 Mke717spotter: What's up with the seats, are they going away from the traditional brown leather seating?
41 N917me: Im not sure, but I kind of like the blue. It looks great in person.
42 AWACSooner: Probably just another overzealous mod.
43 NorCal: Yes it has to do with the unions They'll either integrate them, fire them, or staple them to the bottom of the RAH list. In any case the few reaminin
44 Mke717spotter: Wasn't it said on here that the first two frames will come with ten signature seats and then be converted later on to have twenty? Maybe they're wait
45 N917me: They have brown signature seats from the 717's that will not fit in the 190 in a 2x2 configuration. The 20 signature seating is just going to be an E1
46 TZTriStar500: Not only that they will not fit, but they cannot be used. Its not an easy task to change seats on a modern airliner with the 16g TSO requirements and
47 Mke717spotter: That's terrible. Now the only thing they have that makes them stand out are the cookies, and didn't you say they were gonna change that too?
48 JBo: I wonder if the 717 seats will be used in whatever permanent replacement they find for the 717s (it's been stated that the 190s will not be the perma
49 EmSeeEye: Man, I couldnt agree more! I think what they did last year to the cabins was terrible too. At my last employer we used YX exclusively to fly to LAX a
50 TZTriStar500: They can't for the reasons I stated in Reply 46. Those seats are designed for a 5-abreast width DC-9 derivative aircraft and would be cost prohibitiv
51 YXwatcherMKE: I was not able to get to MKE thursday to see the new E190 due to family emergency. So will it be @ MKE in the afternoon so I could take pictures of bo
