Yes, but essentially they are still doing the same thing. And even those regionals have plenty of pairing that operate out and backs. Even at CommutAir, a EWR trip may very well go EWR-GSO-IAD-JAX, JAX-EWR-DAY, DAY-IAD-ROC-EWR-ROC... you get the idea.
Basically, don't choose a regional because they do or don't do hub turns.

I meant like starting early in the morning and ending late at night in EWR. little to no overnights.

No. Plenty of layovers.

You're referring to say trips. Not many currently in the bid pack.

They need the planes to start early in the a.m. at the outstations to bring all the PAX into the hubs. Therefore, they need pilots to overnight at the outstations. Day trips that end in the hubs are rare, as mentioned above, and tend to go senior. This is typical throughout the industry.

Republic has a lot of day trips in EWR. After some seniority you could bid only day trips.

Starting initial training on March 5th. Has anyone recently gone through it? I'd like to hear some of your experiences. CommutAir provided very little information regarding the timeline, process, etc.

I read somewhere that it's fairly new training facility.

Get used to them providing no information.
Many of us literally went MONTHS after being hired with not a single email.

Timeline is about 2 months.

Indoc: 2 weeks
Systems: 2 weeks
GFS: 1 week
After GFS you will take the oral.
Sims: 2 weeks

They apparently are doing well keeping students moving and not having long breaks. The instructors appear to be poor, with offline instructors just reading the slides.

The new training area is in the same building as the old training area. It wasn't open the last time I heard, but was getting close and when I saw it last month, it was nearing completion.

I think it's one instructor particularly that is off the street doing that I've heard. U'll know he's an offline instructor when he starts teaching. Everyone else is great, no complaints for the rest of the instructors thus far.

I must admit our communication could be better.
