Someone under 23 who can't get a full ATP for a couple years anyway
Someone young who thinks (however incorrectly) that if they get on at a major in 2027 at age 27 that they'll have a great career because how can you not with 30 years seniority at age 57
Depends how many new FO's republic needs. If it's 10 per month they'll probably make it.

That’s a lot of commuting to a coastal base to sit reserve over a career. Not to mention they’re going to be furloughed at least once or twice.

Not predicting if it's part of a viable airline through 2024

“The Agreement” mentioned that the $100,000 penalty was necessary in part due to pilots learning trade secrets while in training. I had never before considered that working for a regional airline offered the opportunity to learn trade secrets. Certainly many valuable life lessons are learned, like how to apologize to a planeful of passengers that LGA is LGA-ing again, or that ORD wants 300 on the way in and 250 on the way out, or the Canadian names for the limited kinds of cheese offered at the Subway outside security at YUL. Perhaps those really are trade secrets. Eye opening.
