You have valid concerns with all the Pinnacle/eagle guys going to the street but you are also qualified and it comes down to attitude, which you have a good one. Do what your gut says, if you are who I think you are, we filled you in with alot of stuff at the interview 2 weeks ago but the choice is ultimately yours. There basically is all risk at this point, get screwed by republic or get screwed on a class with PSA or XJT. Tough to say what will happen with any of them. XJT did say the classes are now scheduled in "Pencil" instead of Pen... Apologies if this isnt the person I think it is. Regardless I think the info is still valid.

How long have you been in the pool at PSA? I say this because I was in HR yesterday and it sounds like we are going to have another new hire class soon and maybe another shortly after that one. We went from being fat on FOs to short in the matter of a few months. My 2 cents would be to go to XJT or PSA, I would avoid RAH like the plague unless u can live in base.

My advice would be this. If you're comfortable with all that's taking place at RAH, take the job. If the economy goes into recession before the end of the year, a growing possibility, at least you'll have a number.
If you take the RAH job and find you don't like it or all of the extras that are taking place there, you can always leave for XJet or PSA if they offer a class. Some may not like that I would suggest this, but the RJ world is basically survival of the fittest.

My current situation:
1) Offered a class at CHQ
2) In the hiring pool at XJT and PSA, but both of these want at least 1000 total, which would take about 2 months of timebuilding (I do have a gig lined up for this flying if I choose to pursue it).
So do I accept my current 121 offer from RAH or built time for a few months and then go to XJT or PSA? I've heard a lot of people say to take the "first 121 offer you get," but the other two regionals seem to have less drama and fewer QOL nightmares as RAH (that contract website was an eye-opener). PSA, being wholly owned and just renewing their a/c leases, seems like a safe bet.
Thoughts?

Out of curiosity, what was your interview at Republic like? I heard recently, they have been conducting interviews lasting 30-45 minutes tops.

I'd personally go to PSA or XJet. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future if there is a US Airways/AA merger though. Still, my number one choice would be PSA, from what I understand they have a much better contract than RAH. Keep rereading the rah pilot website.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results though
Good luck to you
