It is over 90 for FOs right now because of our staffing issues, only having 11 days off a month, and the 4 hour a day minimum which you usually get after a single leg back to base the day after or before starting an out of base assignment. I concur that this is not going to be this way forever. I believe 4 years on reserve means you are either a captain, or a FO in a very senior base that could hold a line in another base? My money is on you being a Captain, because I've heard reserve is forever in the left seat with our seniority list being so top heavy with lifers.

We have an MEC now?

But, RAH has a special kind of suck that you need to know about and its this --> NO CANCELLATION PAY

But everything else seems too risky, i've been in the forums everyday for the last month and cant find anything positive about Republic other than the equipment flown. Its a shame, but all you guys cant be wrong or exaggerating the QOL there.
I really appreciate all your help and feedback, its not an easy decision and I am really trying to avoid any lateral movement 2-3 years from now. I just hope when it comes time to apply to the majors, they value the turboprop PIC time more than the E170 time. Thanks again!
Safe flying

Without cancellation pay you have the potential to lose thousands per year.
Why are you crediting 100 hours? That could be karma working its magic. Most of the time you get reassigned and then you are pay protected for the original credit of the trip, however most never mention that. No it's not what it should be but at least it's something that will save your pay most of the time.
