I’m not a Republic pilot, but I use to work for TSA and was based at DCA and lived in Raleigh. Let me tell you, it was one of the EASIEST commutes EVER. Between DL (4 flights) and AA (7-8 flights) (except on Saturday for both as there is a reduced schedule) it was super easy and a super short commute. I’d highly recommend DCA as your base, plus the River visual is fun.
