The experiment at PSA hasn't worked as planned and they have already slowed down. If you didn't go to PSA already, you missed the boat. Sure, go for street captain if you have the time, but you will be junior for a long time. Their woes are just beginning. Compass is starting to experience it now.
Now the 50 jet replacement that Republic has tried to replace the Envoy pilots is failing. They only staffed the Envoy flying by parking other airplanes.
You can be successful in this environment with the initial replacement wave, but once you get past the initial seniority bump, the staffing issues will go the other way.
This isn't pre-2013 ATP minimum replacement anymore. Republic failed to adapt and this is the result.
