Worth staying at Republic if I want to get to American down the road or will my military time make it irrelevant to need to go to a WO? And are the current FO bonuses worth it?
I would stay where you are at. If you are going to Air Force or Navy FW, that will get you to a mainline sooner than starting over with any flow. Use that military leave to improve your seniority at RPA to improve QOL and upgrade to captain.
