Republic Airways Holdings Inc. doesn’t plan to cut aviators’ jobs or seek to throw out their four-month-old contract in bankruptcy court, according to the pilots union, Bloomberg News reported on Friday. A potential bankruptcy filing had been part of monthly discussions between leaders of Republic’s pilots union and airline executives, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 357 executive board told members in a message on its website Friday. The posting came a day after Republic, which provides regional flights for American, Delta and United airlines, sought chapter 11 protection from creditors.
