...or if you just want to fly the mighty 175, tell people you fly a "real" airliner that has wing mounted engines, don't care about pay, live in your parents basement, and don't care about work rules because you are flying a big jet - screw the rest and work for republic!
I wish I was trolling, but I have been told EACH of those by former students or co-workers who now work at RAH.
Repeat after me.

However the well is drying up, my friend. Word is out on Republic and the few qualified pilots are being more selective.

I have a bit of a dilemma. I have 50 hours multi (enough to apply to Republic and Eagle), but I would like to apply to SkyWest which requires 100 multi. Should I apply to Republic and Eagle since I meet their mins, or bite the bullet and get my MEI and wait for multi students (which are few and far between) with the possibility of not getting to 100 hours by the time the new ATP rule takes effect in July 2014. If not, I have to jump through that hoop if I don't have my ATP by then. Any advice???

Oh ya, we had a republic Q400 driver in our jumpseat. Sounds like you want to avoid that place like the plague. Good guy though. Feel bad for him...

You will get the knowledge to be a Captain and the experience of being the leader of the flight.

Exactly. I enjoyed thinking to myself that flying around a 37 seat ERJ135 I got paid more than a 10 year FO flying around an airplane that has twice as many seats and probably 3 times the weight.

2nd year Brasilia pay at OO is higher than 170 pay at RAH. That's 3x as many seats and many magnitudes lower on MTOW.
