The many base choices and a contract that's as good as anywhere would have me going to Republic if given those two choices. I have many friends from the old time airlines that we were at when still in business and they are all happy there. More importantly, if the music suddenly came to a stop for some reason I would say you are in a better spot there. The whole "eggs in one basket thing."

Good luck.

You would pick a shrinking regional in bankruptcy verses one that is owned by one the world's most profitable airline? Sorry, I don't want to be too insensitive to your plight because a lot of what happens in this industry is luck but:



Your record warrants that your advice be taken with a few grains of salt. Farm drinks the Kool-aid but I agree, unless you live in a Republic base and you think it is going to be around more than a year there is no question. All the regionals are risky but by going to Republic you are picking the most unstable of the unstable. Why? There is a likely probability that you'll be applying back to another regional in a year and reseting your seniority and pay. What is the big payout for making this risky gamble?

Yeah...I know. I went to a regional job 4 times because I didn't like it at the national/major I was at. So I just thought it would make more sense to head back to a regional voluntarily. Makes sense. 2 are now out of business, and the other 2 were furloughs. But you're right, it was stupid for me to get furloughed and go back to the regionals...what was I thinking?

I'm questioning your judgment to pick companies, you know the whole point of this thread? You offered your opinion on what would make a viable company, remember? You posted like two hours ago, do you need me to link back to it? You know where you said you'd go with the shrinking bankrupt airline? And then I pointed out your history of picking airlines - all relevant in this discussion. I'm not sure what you were thinking, that is why I'm pointing out what you posted should be taken with a grain of salt.

Not really a whole lot fleeing from a "sinking ship" over there tells me things are still pretty good. At the same time, I would say that Endeavor is a bit more stable, and has a slight bit of growth at the moment.
