Before you make the move, find a Republic Pilot (in person, at the airport) and ask them about how often Republic opens and closes bases. I have a friend that went from STL to GRR to PIT in just a matter of a few years. PIT has only been a base for Republic for a few years.

PIT is probably one of the most secure bases in the entire network. It has been a major maintenance base since 2006, which is when it also became a pilot base. Hardly "just a few years old". In fact that is nearly a quarter of republics time in existence.
In that ten year time frame, the maintenance facility has nearly tripled in size and the pilot/FA pool has more than doubled.
It is the main acceptance base for new E175's and republic is the largest carrier in terms of operations at the airport with over 21% of the operations...

Are you at Envoy by chance? Sure sounds like it by the description above. I'm at Envoy and am seriously looking at Compass and PDT.
PDT would be an easier commute, Compass just looks like it's a more stable place to be until I'm able to jump up to an LCC or major.
I would seriously make sure you know everything you can about RAH before making that move. Yes, they have a new contract and things seem better. However, IMHO they may file Chapter 11 and dump all the 145's since they can't staff. This would lead to longer and longer upgrades and downsizing.

Might want to actually check your facts before you go spouting out complete non-sense.

Closed. LAX, SJU, JFK, LGA, MIA.
Don't know the exact year but believe it was 2010. BOS.
5 bases closed in less than 4 years. 6 closed in the last 6.
Company wants to re-open a "satellite" in MIA now to help cover their premature move yanking Envoy to "help" cover while RAH gets up to speed.
How is this not knowing what I'm talking about?

Why Republic Airways (RJET) Stock is Tanking Today - TheStreet
Maybe this will help sway you. Things are NOT looking good for the future of Republic. You don't want to be at the bottom of the seniority list with an airline that is "restructuring"...they haven't YET declared bankruptcy but the writing is on the wall. Stick it out where you are because it's better to be employed and have to commute than being out of work and wishing you wouldn't have made the move.
Every other regional is hiring right now. Republic is the last place I'd go.
