In general it looks like our daily departures will not be effected too much, we will have a few new destinations. These include destinations normally served by mainline: LGA, CLT, BOS, PHL, RIC... who knows.

Latest info regarding the status of PIT indicates that per our agreement with Airways, they are not allowed to reduce flying at ANY Republic base. The closure of PIT as a mainline base will have no negative effect on Republic Airlines operation in Pittsburgh. There may be a slight increase in PIT flying during the winter months. On a side note, look for CLT to be announced as a base in the coming months.

Any thoughts on how hard it is to get BUF as a base. Got a call for an interview last week but told them I had to find a day off (hard to do as a 135 on call pilot). Hoping I can get there for an interview soon.

...you sound a lot like me.
Sig.... hum.. not sure how to answer you. Yes.. I was out of the cockpit professionally for over 10 years. Your comment about currency?...not sure what you are asking... but I am current IFR, etc, both ME and SE....
If what you are asking is if I plan on staying at RAH.... I cant answer that but I will say that I have never cared if I flew the biggest plane or the fastest plane or made crap loads of money. I flew the Herc for gods sake and that was a freaking awesome plane to fly, but she was neither fast, or sleek nor did we garner much respect from our BIG MAC ( C-5 , C-141, C-5 ) brothers.....( yes the C-17 was still in testing when i left the AF ) .... so I could easily see myself staying at one place. on top of that im 44 and have had some life changing experiences in the past few years.... flying and a decent QOL is what I require...and to work for a company that in some way maybe perhaps if thats possible gives a damn about its workers. I flew for nearly 3 years for AE ( when it was an all Tprop op ) on the ATR and there was NO respect from AMR or the AA pilots for the Eagles....
So I guess if your question is why is a guy like me coming to RAH...because they have a good reputation and because of some of the aforementioned reasons. The grass is not always greener on some other seniority list....if that makes any sense.
Not sure I have answered your question but if not PM and I will elaborate further.

What you said made prefect sense, and I'm not even in your shoes. Good luck and fly safe.
