6000+ TT and has been PIC on a jet before.
What are the current upgrade times at Republic?
Can't find it with the usual sources.
Pic on a jet alone doesn't count towards the requirement. Was it 135(how many seats installed?) 91K? 121?

Me too, turned down the offer since I wanted MIA but did not want to commute to the NYC area.

Otherwise, it sounds like a good place to be at.

Is the ORD base done, or just very senior for FO's?

Don't know where this came from, but simply not true. Looking at the August numbers for most junior FO in each base:

MIA - Dec 2015
MCI - Aug 2016
ORD - July 2016
IND - June 2016
CMH - Aug 2016
PIT - Aug 2016
PHL - Aug 2016
DCA - Aug 2016
EWR - Aug 2016
LGA - Aug 2016

For some reason can't pull up Sept. numbers right now.

The only reason you'd be in those bases for 9-10 months is if you wanted MIA. Other than that, you could get whatever base you want within a month or two.

Not sure why they'd tell you that. 9-10 months seems pretty far fetched.

8-9 months is not that long either.

Our latest vacancy put out a few days ago says unfilled CA positions will go to DEC here at PDT

Doesn't matter anymore, didn't get an offer.
Interviewed last week.

Keep your chin up. Many of us for whatever reason don't get offers. But I've personally seen several get hired somewhere that works much better for them later on. Good luck!

Someone gives you a job in aviation, you take it. That's my motto.
