I wouldn’t personally. If you’re already in training at Republic I’d stay there and take the first major job offer then go to AA from there if no one better calls. Living in base is better than commuting.

This is not a situation where it will help. The current regional system is unsustainable and changing monthly. It will be very different when you start. Different how is hard to say lol.

The majors are actively poaching from each other’s regional carriers. If you want AA, to to a Delta regional. If you want Delta go to an AA regional. I highly recommend going to a ULCC (Spirit/Allegiant/Frontier) and get an A320 type rating ASAP then Immediately update your application. I know a guy with a wet A320 type from Allegiant that was picked up by AA and never flew the airplane for Allegiant.

My case. I started the AA application but did not submit it. I had a LinkedIn account showing my A320 type. I was contacted by AA and invited to complete my application. I notified the recruiter and had an interview within 2 weeks of completing the app.
