Common guys. All regions suck... Some just a little worse than others. There are definitely worse places to go than Republic. You got to start somewhere I guess. I just recently applied to Republic, although it was my 3rd choice as far as regionals go... It gets me the closest to home... If you don't mind me asking, how many hour did you get hired with to get into the 170. Also, Skywest is getting them too, but I have heard they are not hiring straight into them at first. Just what I heard...
