I second this. I chose Republic over the others because of bases and base pay. I have not been here a full year yet and have weekends off and making well over guarantee each month. Go where you don't have to commute! Take the negativity about RAH with a grain of salt. With the new (newish) contract our work rules and base pay should not be overlooked.
Min days off (reserve/line holder), ready reserve policy (is it paid into guarantee or above), LCR conversion to Short call, DH pay....?
How long is upgrade?
I agree the commute is a factor, but base pay is not everything. The conditions on it matter.

Envoy's latest Captain Awards drops the upgrade times down to just 3 years while continuing to trend down for a 2 year upgrade.
Perspective new hires may see a 2 year upgrade & 5.5 year flow to AA by years end 2017.
Congrats to all the new Captain awards!

So I found out something I didn't know, that since I'm already RW instrument/commercial rated I get a very accelerated FW course. FAA approved curriculum of 26.5 hours for private, 15 instrument, 10 commercial, 15 multi engine. That's it, 66.5 hours. That's all the GI Bill will pay for hour wise for each portion of training. So unless I want to go deep out of pocket to get more hours, looks like I'm going to a WO AA company that will pay for $23k in flight time to get my FW time up.
