Use Endeavor as an example of what is/will happen at Republic with a sub-par contract and a shrinking fleet. A new hire will be stuck on the bottom of the list for eternity. As people move up the list the list just shrinks. You will never enjoy an increase of your QOL or relative seniority. It is a catch 22, they need to raise wages but judging by this TA they can't afford to. As the regionals continue to fall apart I would not be surprised to see Republic be one of the first to crumble.
