Republic Pilots: Are you happy there?
Any regrets on not going somewhere else?
I'm speaking purely from a good schedule, QOL, pay, and overall job satisfaction point of view.
I know, Republic doesn't have a flow, and isn't a wholly-owned (there are pros and cons to this).
Can you pick up extra flying for good money when you hold a line or sit reserve when you want to? Can you have a lot of days off on certain months when you want to?
Is it true that you never have to sit ready reserve at the airport?
I see so many good things about Republic from a QOL standpoint, even down to the airplane itself. The only negative things I've seen/heard are: 1) CMH (which would actually by my base of choice), 2) No flow, 3) Long"ish" upgrades (down to 2.5 years as I understand it now, though), and 4) hotels aren't the best (But who sends their people to amazing hotels at the regionals anyway)?
Thanks in advance,
