I also forgot to add that ready reserve is not just a little here and there, as a junior mofo, your whole monthly schedule will consist of putting your uniform on and wondering around aimlessly all day in the airport begging for a call to cure the boredom. You will also fly 5-8 legs a day and have to do the walk of shame to the back lav with your head down if you're taller than 5'11" should you need to relieve yourself. The average leg per day on the 170 is 3 with a 6'5" cabin and 2 lavs. There is no denying that the pay scale is better at Eagle and there are a few little luxuries that you won't find at RAH such as an ACARS printer and a in house cafeteria when you go for training and PC's. As far as the work rules, when it comes down to it, an average day of work at RAH is much easier.

Go to Republic. Upgrade time will reduce drastically with the new airplanes. Get your time and get out.

Yea but Eagle has a ton of pilots leaving for AA this year. Upgrades times will drop fast. Both have a lot of upward movement coming. The question is which is a better company to work for. I wouldn't want to work at republic, hear only bad things. I'm pretty happy at Eagle.
