Republic or skywest
I have an interview with skywest in July and republic just emailed me saying they are setting up interviews in July also for classes in Oct /Nov /Dec. I have a screener call next week with republic. Im anticipating hitting my mins end of aug/early Sept. I understand living in base is ideal (live and from Pittsburgh). If I got hired by OO I'd commute to ord or dtw as that's the easiest. I also know OO is taking classes in Sept. Is it worth waiting an extra month or 2 to work for a regional where I already live (republic) then starting seniority asap as I would with OO?

That being said, since Republic has killed ORD and I'll most likely never see it as a captain and will probably be commuting for the entirety of my career here I can say without a doubt the best QOL factor is living in base. If you live in PIT I would wait for Republic. Just know you're handcuffing yourself to the northeast nightmare until you move on.
