Really? I thought you said you worked here. Here are a few from recent memory, I'm sure others will jump in with more: DEN (twice), MIA, HNL, MKE, ATL, ORD, GRR, STL, ACY, IFP

Actually they did close PHL back in the day and all those poor SOB's had to drive up to LGA where they were exhausted by the time they got to work, then had to work another 12 hours. This went on for years until they reopened PHL on the 170. Yes, they could have moved to base, but to your point, it does happen.

If you ever had to really sit hot or ready reserve you wouldn't even compare the two. My WHOLE month line was all hot at a previous regional. 5 days a week for 8 hour shifts in uniform which equates to 152 hours of sitting at the airport per month if you don't get called for flying. All month every month until you can hold something better. Your mileage may vary but I rarely had sits longer than 3 hours at rah after 117 (less than 5). Also, QOL can vary quite a bit based on your domicile, cert and plane, which is why you'll have people post with different experiences.

Sorry I meant that I've had less than five total sits longer than 3 hours since 117 came out. I'm not counting delays but just scheduled sits. Before 117 I had about two 4 hours sits per month on average.

Not that I expect you to speak for your friend, but why would he choose Republic? I mean I would have a hard time recommending SW to someone with west coast dreams, but for someone that is okay with MSP or ORD I think it would be a good move. I just can't imagine why anyone would go to Republic.
