I really don't think that regarding only positive responses as "honest" while dismissing negative posts from pilots that actually have experience with the company as "griping and bashing" will yield valid results.
...neither will irrelevant comparisons to former era that was exposed and regarded as so unpalatable that congress actually enacted unprecedented legislation in an attempt to help end it.
My point is that there are plenty of reasons to dislike RJET. There are plenty of reasons to like it. Different situations within the company vary greatly and you should take the time to carefully research it using all available information, as opposed to merely searching for the answer that you want to hear.

Just some food for thought.

Chill out sensitive Sally. You work for a **** hole company, why are you so defensive? Get your time and try to GTFO ASAP. I have flown with prior Rjet pilots at my current airline and I'm shocked by how horrible their regional experience was compared to mine at XJT. I'm not saying XJT is amazing, and I wouldn't recommend anyone going there right now because it doesn't look like they will survive, but compared to Rjet it was night and day.
Apparently Rjet closes bases a lot. Does PIT look like a stable base for this guy? That should be the main factor in choosing to go there. Apparently their new contract is horrible for QOL if you commute there. Outstation basing and base closures can make life hell there.

Go talk about the company(s) that you HAVE worked for.

I do want to say that if you live in a city that you are tied to that has another regional I would consider that other regional. Republic does close bases more often than other airlines so it won't create a stable living environment. Also, with Republic cutting the number of aircraft deliveries combined with the number of lifers Republic has the list is going to stagnate a little (compared to other places). If your husband just needs to check the 121 box before he goes to a major then Republic might be a decent choice.

I've heard that the slowdown is simply due to training capacity. Now that every regional is flying the Brazilian wonderjet, RAH no longer has a monopoly on all the sim slots.

Do you mean the pre-interview call to set up the interview date, or have they changed the interview process?
If you're referring to the phone call from HR after you submit the app, it's just verifying your information and setting a date for the in-person event.

Sounds like RPA may keep the Delta 50 seat flying. The Shuttle guys in my crash pad are saying a 145 vacancy should be announced soon, which should keep the upgrade below 4 years. I just don't get why they would announce a 20K bonus for the 145, when pilots are being allowed to bid off that airframe.
