It’s really not any different here? Sure there are no forced upgrades but unless you want NY you’ll be in an outstation. ORD is a joke with only 33 departures, IAH has been stagnant since opening. MIA keeps losing flying to Envoy, etc. Republic has proven over and over that they’re nothing more than a northeast airline.

So sure, no forced upgrades here. But more times than not a captain upgrade will be sent to one of our ridiculous outstations if not NY.
