I chose Republic in part for the good contract. 5 months in and I can say that they've exceeded my expectations. Since then they've raised pay, opened a new base, picked up flying from other regionals, and just announced an order for 100 new aircraft. I've requested 6 days off in a row each month and gotten that or better each time (to non-rev and visit family/friends). No junior manning means your days off are your days off. I originally didn't want to go to the airlines at all because of the stories I've heard. But after doing some research, I found that all the regionals have upped their QOL game, and found Republic to be doing the best job. I started out in CMH and just went to the new IAH base. Live and lived in base, which makes reserve a whole lot easier. Pack for the entire duration of your reserve stretch, be ready for that phone call at the start of your RAP, and know the details of the contract!
