Captains and FOs are leaving from all Regionals, not just RAH. As soon as they have the hours they drop their resume at an LCC, Major or one of the 2 big Fractionals. Normal progression. Attrition is all across the board, if it wasn't Endeavor would have not created the retention bonus financed by Delta and others wouldn't be dangling the "direct flow" carrot.
Its the nature of the game. CFI, 135, Regional then to the big guys. So what?!

Your rebuttal validates his point. He was replying to a poster who claimed that going to Republic was a life sentence to the regional world. As evidenced by the attrition to LCC, Major, Fractionals, no regional is a life sentence.

Absolutely, reinforcing his point.

Roger that.

Having done 4 type rides in less than that many years, I can tell you this is normal. One of those types was actually at RAH on the 175. It's going to seem like no progress is being made and you're struggling just to keep your head above water. Enjoy your time before class and relax, go to training ready to learn, and for the love of God take a few nights off and head out with your classmates. It'll seem like nothing's making sense, but riiiiiight before the check ride, everything will click into place and you'll be ready. An instructor will not sign you off on a check ride that he feels you're not ready for. Best thing you can do to prepare to learn a new aircraft is the forget everything you know about your old one. In regards to study material, the 175 has very few limitations you'll have to memorize, and most memory items have the same procedure. I was on the Shuttle side, and we were only require to memorize the bold-italicized items, not sure about Republic. The oral is also scripted, there are no gotchas and they want whatever answer is on the study guide. Keep-it-simple-stupid and you'll be fine. AQP is a wonderful thing.

Make sure you eat right and get some kind of exercise, both of which will lead to regular, good-quality sleep. The importance of this, during training and on the line, can't be over-emphasized. By all means, go out with your classmates and chill, but do it in moderation.

I'm in systems training right now. What others have said is precisely correct. The 170 is an incredibly simple airplane to learn (there, I said it), and the training program is designed to feed you everything you need to know.

Do study the material the company sends you prior to training. Make flashcards of all the limitations and memory items. It will reduce your mental workload once you get to class. For your own sanity, don't try to know how to build this airplane before you ever walk in the door. It's not necessary.

thanks for the info, did you go straight from indoc to systems or did you have a break?

How long is the reserve at LGA/JFK? How many hours is airport reserve and is there any long call or proffering for trips?

There was a travel day, then a two-day break, then class. Those who could do so went home. Those who chose to stay in Indy were flown by the company to St. Louis on travel day.
