Republic didn't board that flight. United did. Republic has no staff at ORD. The boarding policies, booking software, agents, and decisions were main line United.

1hr prior to boarding will be interesting. Especially on those scheduled 35 minute turns. The cancellations that will cause won't make the news though.
