RPA is no worse than the 2nd best regional airline from a pilot’s perspective right now, with Endeavor being the other contender. (I’m certainly open to dissenting opinions on this, but my point is that RPA has a great thing going currently.)

That being said, given the dynamic nature of regional airlines and their inherent instability, is it wise to lock into a single airline so far in advance? Other than $85K (LIFT’s marketing number??) of training for $65K, what TRUE BENEFIT/ADVANTAGE does this LIFT/RPA program provide to pilots in today’s industry?

I have no agenda here. I will likely apply to RPA when I reach ATP mins. But I’m truly not sure what I’m missing about the upside of this LIFT/RPA program... Can anyone throw me a bone here?
