The aircraft you are FO in doesn't matter when becoming a captain. You bid for the vacancies. You can take the quicker upgrade and bid for a CRJ or wait longer and take the 170. If you aren't wanting to stay a lifer and want your PIC to get out then taking the 170 might not be the best idea.

It's all a crapshoot. If you want PHL you gotta be a RP 170 driver. Anything else and you'll have to wait to upgrade there. They're hiring into everything. You can always ask for a specific certificate or airplane, and you can always pass on a class date to wait for something on that certificate...but it could be dangerous. Do what you gotta do. AWAC also has a PHL base if I'm not mistaken. My friend there is pretty happy.

yeah i would concur with that. Republic will most likely drastically shrink or close PIT and open a CLT base, and they will do most of the airways flying from PIT and CLT and eventually LGA. That sucks because PIT is a cool town and I know there are a lot of pilots that are here wanting to eventually end up there.

Who knows, Republic hasn't officially or unofficially commented on the Pittsburgh base... plus I usually start a trip out with a DH and dont see PIT again until the last leg of the last day.. so ya
