I don't see how it can't keep coming down with the pilot shortage and some of the lifers at RAH retiring in the next couple years.

Upgrade times these days should be the last thing on the list when picking a Regional because they are going to be short no matter where you go.

Republic has a lot of lifers. i Think most of the top 600 will stay, unless they get a dream job offer. Most aren’t trying to leave. When I left republic 14 year captains were on reserve in ORD. Those guys love republic and are mostly happy. Upgrade will probably settle around 2 years, which is probably about right for a new 121 captain.

I think 600 is very much on the high side. ORD is sort of a one off and has many factors contributing to it being so senior it’s more than just a lifer “problem”. I also don’t think they have anymore lifers than any other airline.

Do captain and FO seniorities regarding bases look similar?

I’m not sure I understand your question.

My bad. Are the junior or senior bases for FOs also junior/senior for captains, or are they different?

There are slight differences. CMH, for example, is a junior FO base but a somewhat senior CA base. CA seniority in CMH has been coming down so it's starting to even out.

Are there particular bases you're interested in?

Not really. I've been lurking for a year now, and I was just curious. I'm at 0 TT (starting in the summer!) so it'll probably be another 5 years before my question is actually relevant to my life. And who the hell knows what'll be different then... part of the fun I guess.

Kudos to you for getting informed. Just don't let it bother you too much right now. You have it right when you say that everything will be different by the time you are interviewing.
