"apparently rjet is closing a lot of bases"? over what period? which ones? when did it happen?

I live in Pittsburgh and now, with a new contract, and with increased pay among other things, taking a second look at republic. No calls from the majors so my thinking is that getting some 121 time could help my resume.
I have read the republic threads and how management has some real problems. I have more than 2000 hours turbine PIC time so the upgrade is not my first goal. Looking for better quality of life with some type of schedule and getting some 121 experience on my resume.
So what are your thoughts especially from current republic pilots. Is pit junior? Is the 170/175 possible for new hires? What is realistic take home pay for the first year? Days off? Health insurance for my wife, son and I? Probably is a step back for me. 5100 tt but trying to get a call from a major and better quality of life. I should also state that republic wouldn't be my first choice because I hear commuting is terrible. This is why i am giving them a second look. Thoughts?

Hey man, I recently interviewed at RAH and accepted the job offer. PIT is your out of training and it has almost no-reserve time. I am currently working on a 135 flying two different jets for them. I am on call as well and sometimes I get the hard days off without evening knowing about it or when I am away from base. I can't wait to get out!
New contract is what made me interview with RAH and the number of people who interviewed and accepted the job is what made me feel comfortable to resign from my current company. I interview the 11/23 we were 25... Almost all of us got the job and accepted it. I asked for the earliest class date... They were all full till 01/26/16.
So they are finally getting some pilots back and hopefully they will get stronger soon. Please contact me if you have any questions.
My understanding is that there are haters for any regional... like I am an hater for 135.
I had/they had bad experiences and I/they will share only negative experiences.

Got it.
Got it.
Please forgive me, but where do you see crucial informations on my post? Please look at The stock of RAH and you will see a slightly increase sign of a recover as well as an estimated recover to $7.8
Please feel free to quote anything that sounds so particular or not right to you.
Regarding the recover, besides the stock outgoing I think I said I had the feeling that a company is recovering looking at pilot being hired and class being full.
Do you work at RAH? if you do so good for you, and I hope to see you soon.
I'm sorry I hurt your feeling by sharing my interview experience and sharing my "understanding" of the situation.

I know how nice it is to have real numbers so here you go. Realistically you are looking at 12 guaranteed days off at first on reserve.
Min hours 75x$40= $3,000
14 solid days of per diem 336 hours x$1.95= $655
Family insurance depends on benefit level (for me= $190/month)
Making around $3465/month before taxes year one plus whatever the bonus is now. (If we still have one)
The good/bad news is that reserves are used and abused everyday so you will most likely get more than the 75 hours a month. Line holders get around 83 hours a month.
Hope this helps.
