Would the ATP guys with their Raybans be flocking there if they flew Beech 1900's? Of course not. They wanna fly the jet that looks like an Airbus. Republic knows that which is why they get away with a sub standard contract.
The guys that are already there? Who knows. Maybe they didn't have the choice between Eagle and Republic like this guy does.
