Republic Airways flies for American Airlines, Delta, and United. The federal government agreed to provide Republic with $206 million in CARES Act payroll subsidies.
Airlines taking these funds can not furlough any employees through September 30. They’ve reportedly done it anyway.
On Wednesday American Airlines flight AA4439 from Atlanta to New York LaGuardia, an Embraer ERJ-175 (large regional jet) operated by Republic Airways, suffered runaway trim during climb out. “Runaway trim” became a well known phenomenon over the last year as it’s associated with both Boeing 737 MAX crashes.
Listening to the air traffic control – the pilots and ATC both did an excellent job – is eerie. Thank goodness everyone made it safely back to Atlanta.
