If you plan on ever using a DL flight benefit while working for Republic, be prepared to be at the back of the line behind every retired person that ever worked for Delta. And they can come up at the last minute after listing one hour prior. Spent a lot of time when with ASA missing flight after flight all day long trying to get to Atlanta, then trying to get from Atlanta to points beyond. The flight benefit was worthless as a contract carrier. Paid for United benefits for one year while with ASA but only used it a few times. Flight benefits on a AA WO are far superior.
