Absolutely insane how fast that changes. Now Republic is a good place to go. Just goes to show how volatile this industry is.

This industry runs on a terrible business model. "Growth" and "quick upgrades" for one pilot group typically come because another pilot group is suffering and stagnating.

GoJet benefitted to TransStates' detriment, Colgan planes went to Republic, then Republic lost those same Q400s, Comair got shut down as punishment, TransStates, Compass, PSA, and Piedmont grew with Eagle's planes while Eagle stagnated, SkyWest got Horizon's CRJs, etc.

Today's victim will be tomorrow's victor.

The worst part about the "regionals" is the terrible effect on pilots' careers by having scoped-out flying in the first place. All this flying should be mainline; unfortunately Pandora's box has been opened, and the "regionals" are here to stay, now that the "regionals" officially fly mainline equipment (E175).
