Republic IS what you make of it in terms of if you decide to go there, for a base or the airplane or whatever else, know what you're getting into and what you're giving up. Management is criminally awful. You're giving up long term gain in the forms of: 1) the pay is atrocious & contract terrible even in comparison to other regionals, especially considering the larger aircraft, 2) you won't see higher pay for a while because upgrade is pretty lengthy and even though it's coming down due to lack of 2009-2011 hires, there's not a ton of hiring at the bottom of the list for current new hires 3) therefore career advancement is will be stagnated you'll lose out on money long and short term since upgrade times are high and there are a lot of lifers especially in the outstation bases (I'm not judging nor do I blame them because they have good QOL and don't wanna give it up)

The crews are mostly terrific, if you live in base QOL increases big time, the airplane is very advanced, the flying is pretty good on the American side anyway, and on the Shuttle cert some of the United stuff is really good too (I'm talking long legs, easy days)...but overall, I'd advise against going to RAH
