I did not notice that and I do not follow that logic. It seems to me that UAL could have chartered a private twin engine prop plane to shuttle the crew to Louisville and arrived there only an hour or two later than this flight would have arrived there. If a private twin engine prop plane was not fast enough, then charter a private jet. What am I missing?
It was a Republic crew. Chicago is United headquarters but would they put them in their KingAir or a Tahoe and get them to Louisville?
