If you had to choose between ExpressJet and Republic what would it be? If base wasn't an issue. Seems like there's quite a bit of negativity in this head but is it to the extent of the RAH negativity?

Other then that I don't see your point! Your prob one of theses guys that sweets the small stuff, half hour wasted looking at paperwork and briefing the crew on their job. Here's a news flash, they know their job so does the dispatcher and so does ATC. What's left for you to do? Don't hit anything. So there you have it aviation 101. Oh yeah land if your fuel gets low.

Obviously individual situation might be different causing the senior pilots to stay but if the regional model is dying and you know that, take the hit for the short term in order to have a job later on. This is also not possible for those who are set to retire in the next 5 years or so. I know Scott had put out a list of retirements a while back and wonder how many we will be losing each year.

XJT has issues, but at least we make bank. Average CAs make 80-90K average FO 35-45K. RAH's contract sucks. No block or better pay, no cancellation pay, no soft time. But the DO get to fly REAL airplanes WITH ENGINES UNDER THE WINGS! Priorities I guess.

United and Delta will be parking 300 or so large RJs by end of 2015! EXJ operates the vast majority of them, United has outsourced over half the large RJ they can put on the line before they have to add a NB fleet and Delta only has 30 more large RJs to be awarded. Not flaming as I work at a carrier with mainly 50 seaters but the future of EXJ isn't looking as bright as some might led you to believe. Attrition is high so that's a good thing.
