I'd like to know how much I can expect to fly per month and how long it would take me to get DCA or ORD as an FO. Everyone who I have personally talked to at Republic seems very happy.
All of the available information on this site is incredibly helpful yet also very overwhelming. Thanks to everyone who throws in their two cents.
If ORD is what you want I wouldn’t even consider Republic. You’ll get it as an FO but as soon as you upgrade you’ll never see it again. Republic has been shrinking ORD to almost nothing the past 3 years. If you’re set on ORD go to Skywest or Envoy. DCA on the other hand is pretty junior on both sides.
