Republic has mostly outstation bases, meaning show times are early morning (~6am), and finish times are late at night (~11pm). I'm describing CMH trips but the other bases are similar. In order to comply with duty and rest requirements, the trip pairings have to be 3 or 4 days.
QOL wise: The show times are early, so you'll have to get used to that. If you are going to commute in, you have to come in the day before your trip (or start of reserve), and go home the day after your trip ends. Some guys that live within a few hours drive chose to do it that way. As I mentioned I bid the option "I want to have a single 6 day off block" to maximize the days off to commute time ratio.

We have 11 bases. 7 are in hubs and 4 in outstation. Sure is a majority outstation.

I left California 25 years ago. But I do remember paying a ridiculous amount of tax at the time. Granted, I had yet to learn about deductions, oh beautiful deductions. I don’t have a clue what percentage I was paying so I did pull an estimate out of my butt. 😳
