That being said, Republic would have to improve their class wait times before I’d try going there. I’m flexible with location, but I need to upgrade to captain ASAP to minimize time at the regionals.
Your hours are way low for a quick regional stint... you’re better off going to a place with better pay and QOL. You’ll need 1000hrs to upgrade. You might as well get paid as much as an FO as others get paid as a CA at places like Endeavor or Republic while you plug away over the next several years.
All three AA WO regionals have a baseline flow of 9+ years for new hires. Outside attrition not included.
