what is so bad about republic?
No contract since 2007. Working under 2003 rates and work rules. Mgmt doesn't want to negotiate and doesn't value or respect pilot group. I'd be here all day listing issues. Just read around.

While people chose their airline for a variety of reasons, upgrade time is one of them, most people tend to do it for quality of life reasons.
Regionals have become less of a stepping stone and more of a base camp for many. Possibly moving on but also possible to take high quality of life over paycheck.

It's probably better to pick a regional that you wouldn't mind being at if something like that happened again. I would hate to get stuck commuting across the country as an RJ FO for 7 years because I went to a company expecting a 1 year upgrade that didn't happen.

Upgrade times can change overnight. Skywest had 8-12 month upgrades in 2006. The people hired in late 2007 and early 2008 who came there expecting a 1 year upgrade are still waiting to upgrade today.

I wouldn't go that far. I enjoy my job at a regional because I picked the one that I thought I would enjoy the most if I got stuck here. I would love to go to a major and get a 400% pay raise for doing exactly the same thing, but I can't say I hate my job at a regional.
