I have thought about coming over for IAH too. However, with a 5+ year upgrade for IAH, it is probably better to stay put.

I am seeing a lot of ads here for Republic’s new IAH base; come apply. What you and I would be expecting.
It should be a good battle to watch, without blood and gore.
I wish every pilot based in IAH well. You are in demand.

I live in Central Texas as well . I'm prior 121, I have about 3200 TT, my current airline might be sinking into the pit of despair. I'd LOVE to be IAH based, and republic looks like a good company with pretty good QOL, good pay, and folks seem to be happy. I'd LOVE to chat with someone who is flying the line to as a few questions before chatting with a recruiter.

I'm just keeping all options open at this time . . . you can go to the via thread to see some of the "challenges" currently facing via. Republic in IAH seems to be a good fit for me, but "never go to an airline for a base, equipment or upgrade promises" keep echoing in my mind!

Question about the DL flying at IAH? DL is planning on upguaging the LGA-IAH route with the A220, where is the DL flying going to shift to?

It's anyone's guess. So far though, there hasn't even been any DL pairings in IAH. These past two months have been split between AA/UA, and next month is all UA. Republic's DL birds have still been coming and going in IAH, just operated by crews from other bases.

This isn't really a new base. It's a previously closed base (CRJ200) from years ago that is reopening. Republic has lots of experience opening and closing bases frequently. I remember back when IAH and CRP were open a lot of people bought houses there and ended up commuting later on. Whatever the time commitment from UA is it's not forever. The only absolutely safe RAH bases are IND, CMH and PIT. Plan accordingly.

While what you are saying is technically correct, All three bases are heavy maintenance bases which are not going anywhere. 1/4 of our entire fleet overnights in these three cities every night... These are not small bases by any means and the cost to close them would be exorbitant.
