Skywest is non union. Republic has a union. That’s a pretty big reason to choose republic right there

It’ll take 12 years to get Chicago after upgrade. Republic treats ORD like an outstation rather than one of the busiest hubs in the world. Gotta feed the outstations....

In what respect is ORD treated like an outstation? It’s one of the most commutable bases, so it’s not early show/late finish.

Anywhere but.....
Im also senior OO but don’t agree. Yes they do open/close bases. But that was mostly Turboprop days... and some unfortunate events such as Midwest express MKE, ect..
