QOL is better at Republic, but I would guess it depends on if you commute. I would not commute to any Republic outstation, because your life will suck, especially as a junior captain or FO.
It’ll take 12 years to get Chicago after upgrade. Republic treats ORD like an outstation rather than one of the busiest hubs in the world. Gotta feed the outstations....
