I might have briefly spoken on the subject on integration i the past and only in broad strokes but I've yet to publicly support or denounce the company for any of it's moves other than stating I wish 190s weren't here. What I wonder is how you manage to know what everyone thinks when you don't even bother reading!
Believe it or not, I know who you are. I've flown as your captain before so I know more about you than you think. My posts might come off a little harsh, but I these Republic deals are not good for anyone. Everyone can't be a captain in this industry. Only about half of us can. It is important to be able to support a family as a first officer. The bare minimum to do that for most people is the Republic captain pay scale. If every single first officer flying an airliner makes $37/hour, then we're in trouble. Republic is trying to make that happen slowly but surely. Who cares whether you're flying a 145, 170, 190, or Airbus if it all pays exactly the same? You don't seem to care.
