Nothing that I know of anywhere for FOs out of training. There is something out there for Captain upgrades that were street hires or something to that effect, but that was only for a month or two and only for the specific base of LGA.

It was brought up in the past, and AA will not support it. I doubt we will see amymore east coast bases, unless it’s from a acquisition.

"Some" regionals don't offer that. Only Endeavor does. And only to work, not from work.

Probably because it's sufficiently staffed from several prior classes including mine (7/10). We had a lot of people from the northeast in my class, including several who lived near LGA and actually wanted it as their permanent base. Others, including me, realized that LGA and CMH currently provide the fastest path to a line (little to no reserve) and jumped on the bandwagon, at least temporarily. I'll do my six months of hell in LGA and then jump to my preferred base of EWR when I know I can hold a line.

As a Boston base pilot, what would other people suggest the best Republic base to bid?

I’m looking at EWR and LGA, unless you have other suggestions. I should hold a line earlier in LGA? But as far as the commute (seats available), and best trips to fly (hours credit)

I did see a lot of the BOS LGA flown by Republic, but just read Delta and Endeavor are ahead of Republic priority. There are tons of flights, don’t know if they get booked.

Thanks
