Anyone else ever been in this position or know of people that have come back from the ACMI world? Would I be making a mistake?
Thanks for any input.

Until that happens remember that you don’t have to accept back to back schedules at K4.

Republic really isn't a bad place to be. Like any airline, it has things that could improve, but the overwhelming majority of pilots seem happy here. It's really rare you find anyone bitter or unpleasant. They exist, just like anywhere, but aren't common at all.
