Default Envoy or Republic?

Hey guys, so I'm planning on moving to the US soon, I'm currently flying the E190 as a FO for the past 3 years for an airline in South America. I've been looking out for regionals to apply and I've seen overall they offer the same (bases, pay, airplane, etc).

I'm interested in Envoy and Republic (since they have the Ejet), what would you guys suggest me supposing I get an offer with both, what would you do if you get offered a FO position with any of them?... pros/cons

I appreciate your help, I'm new to the regionals and basically flying in the US, so any info would help out for my decision. Thanks in advance!

Well, I'm looking at both of those, too. Republic guarantees the 170/175. You may or may not get it at envoy, and from what I understand, you are NOT allowed to switch aircraft unless you're upgrading.

Oh I didn't know about that, thanks for the info... and do you know by any chance, how do they award either the E175 or the E145 at Envoy? I would clearly target the E175 since I'm already type rated and have some experience in it.

As it is I would say republic. Envoy is a mess and still downsizing. Only thing envoy offers is flow to aa, but, it will cost you in loss of pay and quality of life compared to republic.

Envoy class seniority (and thus selecting the aircraft/base combination) is done by age in the class. If you're ok with the 145, you'd be almost certain to get that or the 175, unless you are very young and were only left with the crj 700 which is based only in ord.

I would do more research if I were you and at the bottom of the list would be aircraft type, not the top.

It still boggles my mind that people actually think it matters whether or not you fly a CRJ, 145, or EJet...If I were choosing a company to go to that would be literally the very last thing I would care about.

Do you make less 2nd year at Republic then?

First year is $40/hr plus $12,500 sign on.
Then second year is $41/hr.

Is there a retention bonus for year 2 and beyond or do you make more in year 1 than you do in subsequent years.

Also, is there any commitment with the sign on?

Thanks for the info.
