I would choose ExpressJet. Better pay and management has got to be better than Republic. Republic domiciles open, close, open again, and close again. BUF, RIC, GRR, MCO, FLL, CVG, DEN, GSO and on and on. Management at Republic does not care about its employees and they are great at union busting tactics. 5+ years in contract negotiations and not any closer than year 1.
