Think of a city that has air service in the Midwest or east coast. We fly there.

The 900 has more variety but honestly where you overnight isn't a big deal and shouldn't be a factor on where you go.

I am getting about 17 days off a month right now before I pick up, after I pick up I average around 10 but I live in base so I don't mind.

And that, my friend, is the key to the whole airline puzzle. (He said after 20+ years of commuting.)

Yup, this job isn't worth doing if you have to commute (then again in may well not be worth doing depending on what base you have to live in either)

Latest rumor is republic is going to pick up American shuttle routes once they start shifting 190s away from shuttle routes. They are going away in 2017 and they will be replaced by republic 76 seater 175s entirely (like we do in delta side)

If I get hired, would probably commute PHX-EWR. :(

Haha yeah I wasn't sure if you meant only specific shuttles or all of them.

Doesn't Mesa or SkyWest have a PHX base?

Neither have the pay that Endeavor offers.

We have auto throttles though. And think of any city that has air service in the islands. We fly there.

You're first two paragraphs are contradicting....

Republic and endeavor are both REGIONALS. They both pay about the same after its all said and done. They both have the about the same upgrade and reserve time (don't be fooled by the wholly owned people who think they are delta mainline employees). Republic and Endeavor should be at the top of your list as far as regionals go.(based on your concerns for domiciles and pay)

Pick which one suits you. Both are not going anywhere soon. Yes things change quickly in the regionals. To be honest it's about luck and timing which plays a huge part in upgrade time, where you'll end up, reserve time, etc.

And for those negative comments on the Republic BK topic. Republic is the third largest regional behind skywest and expressjet/asa. If you think any of the mainline carriers can afford RPA to fold, you're bat **** crazy. Ain't nobody got time or staffing fo dat Felicia! (Snaps fingers)
