My mom and I flew republic just after I was born in march 1982, from Pasco, WA PSC. To MSP, (she thinks it could have been Seattle first). So my question is what did republic fly in PSC I Mar 1982?

I don't know exactly. Probably DC-9-30 or DC-9-50.
Re: Original Republic airlines question
Hi int he web site Departed Flights there is an Augstt 1982 flight schedule. It shows Pasco-Seattle on flight 14 leaving Pasco at 6:01 am, and connecting in Seattle to Flight 70 non stop arriving in MSP at 12:30.
The Pasco Seattle routing was probably on a DC9-10 or a DC9-30 (but most likely the -10 due to the size of the station at PSC Tri Cities, and still carried the code RW (as Republic West, i.e. the Hughes Air West operation--while Republic bought Hughes in September 1980, the RC code only started applying starting in Jan 1983 when the full integration ocurred. The Seattle -MSP was most probably on a 727-200 as that was the primary Republic trunk liner..
Here is a link to a June 1982 route map.

I think Pasco by that time was an all jet station and the F27's were all gone by the time Republic took over Hughes Air West.
I don't think Republic ever moved Convair 580's out to Seattle, but maybe they did. I was bouncing around the Baltimore Minneapolis Green Bay Upper Michigan stations between 1980 and 1984 and most of my flights were a combination of DC9-10, DC9-30, 727-200 and a lot of Convair 580's from Green Bay up to CMX and MQT.usually with stops in ESC or IMT.

Re: Original Republic airlines question
According to both the February 1, 1982 and June 1, 1982 OAGs, All Republic flights between Pasco and Seattle were on DC-9-30s and all Republic flights between Seattle and Minneapolis were on 727-200s. I would assume the March schedule would have been the same.
