In an industry where most of your company's income is reliant upon ticket sales and load factor, the airlines struggle to turn a profit unless they can offer the lowest fares to attract the most customers. It's a crappy game and employees often are the least common denominator.

One good thing about rah (it sounds like an oxymoron but it's not) is base trades. If you don't get it right out of training you can do the base trade.
The bottom half of the FO seat is so dynamic that you can get where ever you like at this point.

In order to upgrade here you need to have ~1500 people behind you on the seniority list. At the rate we are currently attracting pilots (~20 a month) combined with the fact that most of the attrition is due to FOs bouncing to places like Mesa and Trans States it means you will be looking at at least a 7-8 year upgrade. This place is slowly burning to the ground and the last place you would ever want to find yourself is at the end of our seniority list.

There are two parts of my aviation career, life during Republic Airways, and life after Republic Airways.
Life is much better in the latter.
