False info about Republic. Plenty of pilots moving on well before 10 years. As a matter of fact I would venture to say that there is no difference in prospective career progression to a pilot starting at either Republic or Endeavor. And guess what? Republic now has that useless CPP with Delta now too.
What skew's Republic's numbers negatively as far as career progression is their acquisitions from the past. For example, there are many older Midwest Express pilots close to retirement age that wouldn't move on even if the opportunity presents itself. But if you take those pilots away, progression at Republic is no different then other Regionals.
