PIT now has less than 20 departures per day, the least of all our bases, I can't imagine they'd need much help there. DCA has over 100. (don't know how many initiate there though) PM me once bidding opens @ the 13th if you wan't a number.
He is correct I left there at the end of May. Pittsburg had 80 openings. All (or mostly all) classes are get Pittsburg. Then you can keep your transfer in and hope to transfer out during the next bidding process (which runs about every 3 months). Until they fill those 80 vacancies with people staying in Pittsburg, you can guarantee new hire classes will still be assigned Pittsburg. Once you have enough seniority to transfer out, you can. Good news about Pittsburg, you’d hold a line quickly. There is honestly no reason whatsoever to come to Republic over a AA WO. All the AA WO get the same work rules that Republic has (except junior manning) and those rules go in effect Oct 1. So if you want DCA go to AA WO and enjoy the $40,000 (base pay) raise plus bonuses. Unless you are too scared to fly a CRJ 700/900 or a E145?
