There are FOs here at RAH getting on with United after 2 or 3 years here. Many many captains are moving to mainline. Of the last 10 guys I flew with, 6 of them are interviewing and/or have the job at UA, AA, and JB. I wouldn't call that career stagnation.

AA hasn't hired anyone off the street for quite some time now, let alone anyone from Republic. Get a shovel for all that B.S. you are spewing. That lie has just discredited your entire post.

That's interesting?? I have three friends who have been hired OTS at AA in the past 3 months and one from Xpress? Two finishing OE right now and 2 starting class next month.

As far as I am aware, all of the regionals who filed BK all had the following issues:
* Negative Cash flows, Republic did not have a single negative quarter for the previous 11 quarters I believe it was prior to the filing and had over 100 million of liquidity coming into the BK.
* Were going after the Pilot contracts to reduce costs, Republic said from the get go that they would not be going after the contract and it has already gone through the system and can not be touched.
* Wanted to shed unprofitable aircraft that were flying. Republic wanted to shed unprofitable aircraft that were NOT flying.
When Republic filed, all of our "BK Experts" said Delta flying would be done with YX and they would become either all AA or UA yadda yadda... Yet here we are with a carrier who has received extra financing from Delta, a new flying contract that all of the naysayers said would never come and the rumors of ADDITIONAL delta flying under the new contract.
And now as of today, they have reached an agreement with United. Yeah, this looks like a real doom and gloom airline. People seem to forget that Pinnacle, I mean Endeavor, was just coming out of BK just two years ago and is considered to be one of the best Regionals out there at the moment...
Oh and btw, I have no eggs in any baskets at the moment.

FOs getting on at United after 2 or 3 years? Haha...OK. Unless they were interns, had alot of previous experience, or can check certain demographic boxes, no. And the only capts I've heard getting legacy jobs lately are check airmen. But the regional of your choice has little to do with stagnation, the job market does.
