Listen, its your decision but since you are asking for advice, I must warn you off of Republic again. I am a level headed, relatively intellectual person and what I can tell you is that right now at Republic moral is at an all time low and for good reason. The bottom 500 FO's have gotten the shaft over and over again. The top FO pay is exactly 36.62 per hour with no hope of ever getting a raise. Those out there that claim that we are close to a new and better contract are dellusional at best. We have just recently started negotiations again and the company is not giving an inch. We are easily 2+ years from anything remotely resembling a new contract. I follow our stock and all accounts say that we are barely able to pay our debts. That means that with oil increasing, it looks like we are closer and closer to losing the battle to SWA and Jetblue every day. So if you can look past the 20,000 dollar 1st year pay with a top 4 year pay of 36,000 ( thats what i made on 4th year pay) then consider how awful the company treats us. No cancellation/maintenance pay, and scheduling and the entire management company uses and abuses us at every chance they get. Also, now with the seniority integration you now have a bunch of furloughees that will be senior to you if they take a recall.

For those of you that take this post as being "debbie downer" please realize that I am just being ultra realistic.

Again its your choice, and good luck. Go to Eagle, or apply at Skywest but do yourself a favor and stay away from Republic.
