Ok, I'm very new to this site and am glad that it exists due to the mixed opinions and information that is discussed. I am still a student working on my ratings and am doing some airline career research.

1. Im trying to find out how Republic (Chatauqua, Shuttle America, Republic) positions there new hires? Does your base decifper what airline your actually flying for? I'm trying to see if ORD (Shuttle America E170 and E145) is pretty junior? What are my chances getting in there as I'm a Chi native.

2. For any of you Republic folks out there...how is it? I haven't heard many really "bad" things and have talked to many CAs and FOs and they love it out of ORD. Hows the QOL out at other bases? What's the upgrade time currently and estimate within the next year or so.

Thanks in advance for the information and please provide any negative thoughts on Republic!
