I have classes within the next month and a half to fly the Dash8 for C5 or the 170 for Shuttle. I need to make a decision soon and I fear I may be suffering from shiny jet syndrome.

I like the 2 year upgrades, contract, and almost guaranteed and EWR base working for C5.

For shuttle, I would really prefer to fly the 170, and if there is any truth about a new contract soon, I think I will roll the dice and go with republic. There just hasn't been any positive feedback about working for Republic in any of these forums.

Are there any benefits of possibly flying with RAH over C5?
