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.

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.
