I've read the entirety of the Republic and Air Wisconsin threads. I get what the problems are at each one, and want to avoid both if at all possible.
What's a better option than Republic?
Not really sure what to tell you. If you want to live in base I'd apply at Air Wisconsin and Republic and see who calls you. I've been at Republic for 6+ years and yes I want out as badly as everyone else. The relationship we have with our management team is garbage, we have been working on a contract the whole time I've been here, outstation basing sucks if you commute. But is it as bad as everyone makes it out to be on the different forums? No.
Ever think about applying at Spirit? The upgrade there is just as short as a regional and you look like you meet their requirements.
