there are 18 CA and 20 FO's based in IND for Republic. your buddy is misinformed. these numbers come from the October bid sheets.

what i heard...

IND, PIT and DCA are all still Republic bases.
I'm pretty sure most of the 175's are going to PIT and DCA - but seeing as how it's all the same rating, I don't know why some wouldn't go to INDy too. My understanding is that the bases it goes to will be 170/175 bases. The pay is only increased when you actually fly a 175 as part of your pairing. Does anyone know how this would affect a Shuttle CA trying to bid over to the darkside? Will they still be stuck due to "same airplane" philosophy?

That is just what uncle Brian wants you to believe. Contract says

"A pilot who holds the status of 79-99 seat turbojet captain will be paid at
the 79-99 seat turbojet captain rate for all assignments." Since the type for a 170 is common to the 175, any current 170 domocile that has a 175 based there, will revert all captains to the 175 rate. RW will not base any 175's at a current 170 bases. My 2 cents- Either the 170's are moved from IND to PHL or a new Republic base is opened for the 175.​

The last IND/PIT bid was for 175 flying.... the company will keep it as a 170 bid since the domicile is a majority of 170 flying.... this bars S5 guys from bidding over since the bid was not for a higher paying position..... it is the whole MCO 135/145 thing again....
