My Skywest app is posted as "Follow Up" and Republic sent an interest email to me yesterday for their open FO position. I'm just trying to sort out how to get to DTW base and avoid ORD because DTW is driveable with family connections for overnights and reserve duties. Just have to wait and see what develops.
I think OO is overall a great place to be. However, if you want to come here for a DTW base, it's likely to disappoint. The most junior FO in Detroit is an August 2019 hire, which is the most senior CRJ FO base tied with TUS. Who knows what will happen if 9E perhaps shifts back East and shrinks DTW flying a bit and once movement starts again and creates attrition in the base through people leaving/upgrading, but still it's now just as small a base as it was in its infancy. That being said, Republic bases won't be much better for you if that's the other option.
