Keep trying for a non United Express regional. AA and DL wholly owned carriers are doing what they need to do with respect to pay or a flow. United continues to whipsaw carriers against each other therefore offering the lowest overall compensation.
Just reference the republic base announcement for IAH. Whipsaw continues.

Not sure you can make an argument that bringing Republic into IAH meets that criteria.

You have a lot to learn about airline contracts. There is a lot more to an airline than just hourly rates and equipment.
If you would really pick one airline over another simply because their 50-seater is "better", you may be a lost cause

There’s more to the whipsaw than just pay. The NEW whipsaw uses pay (and upgrade) as bait. I’m sure that if these places ever got congested with senior pilots who get paid more and fly less.....they would start losing contracts and pilots to other regionals. XJT got to be too attractive as a place to stay......and has been suffering for years as a result.

We might have lower pay but our CPAs might be getting underbid by republic and others. Simply due to the fact that our longevity is off the charts. And of course we have a defined contribution plan and vacation touch requiring more pilots for same amount of flying. But everybody should have that stuff. Pay up or close the doors.

Yeah, aside from the pay rate what you fly doesn’t matter for the most part. I mean don’t get me wrong. I’ve got my favorite aircraft. But -200, -700, ERJ... no one cares when you’re trying to move on.

I’ve flown both (3000+hrs each). If i was only going to fly at a regional for 1-3 years. I would prefer the E145. 5+ i would go CRJ... E145 is better to hand fly and land. CRJ is more rigged.. built better. But annoying to fly with the annoying quirks.. (thats not factoring in any 700/900 flying)
