I assume that you are 26yr old thanks to the 1985. Right??
If that's the case go to eagle, you will be able to choose which equipment and base you want to fly. For sure you will be somewhere in the middle of the list and you will have about 450 guys/gals below you by the end of the year.
Anyway if you fly for Chitacua will be flying the emb saying "American connection". I think "American Eagle", looks better in the plane.
You probably will be able to get the Crj700, if you really want a "big jet". I'm FO in the emb and like more short flights. The crj is more like a mainline.
Try to live in base, will make your life easier.

"Being more like mainline"
has nothing to do with the airplane or city pairs. It is about pay and QOL.

Errrr, sorry man... your perspective is still jacked. CRJ700's are nothing like mainline. Distance of route flown should not ever fit into the equation of what is "like mainline". Since Delta fly's a 737 and MD80 from ATL-BNA, and Comair also fly's the same route with a CRJ-100 does that make the CRJ similar to mainline?!? My thoughts exactly.

As you can clearly see, this is my first post on APC. I read the threads from time to time, but I never felt the need to chime in until now. I even created this account solely to warn you away from Republic. I have been here since '07 and I cant begin to tell you how bad it is here. I dont know what it is like at Eagle, but Im sure it must be far and away better than Republic. That is all. Good luck
I am not recommending either. Frankly if no applies at Republic it betters our position at proving to the company that we need treated and compensated better. But you have to do what's right for you.

I would reallly appreciate a chance to talk with you about working the regional life (not Horizon) out of SEA. I'm considering a couple of options, and have'nt done the commuter thing before.
Maybe easier on PM;

You do realize we have most of the new contract already finished, right? Granted the most controversial chapter, compensation, isn't finished but it was to see about single carrier status
