Republic Questions
1) Is it possible to bid between certificates on the same AC? I know there is an equipment lock. I understand the AA flying will be out of ORD. 2)What is the best way to go about getting this? 3)Will FO spots be filled only by newhires like DEN? I have read the other threads. I have read the other threads about QOL. I am educated to the ramifications of this decision.
Thanks

2)When you interview, you are usually given a choice of certificates and airframes based on what the company needs at the time. When I was hired, they have me a choice of all three certs but the Q's weren't there yet. The first five 170's will come online in June with 2-3 month starting in July so they will probably need new hires on them. However, they are desperate for guys on the Q and 145 as well.
3)Because this is a not a new aircraft type, all FO's on the 170 on the Republic cert will be able to bid these new aircraft. The upgrades will probably be a lot of Chq Captains looking to make more money.

Pretty sure Al is from pncl and needs a job like a lot of us. But hey, it's just because they are "shinier" than our jets which are going to the boneyard.
Nice try

Al... As a 6 year FO at 9E I sucked it up and took and interview at Republic because Im a total idiot (no other reason why). The place is a total joke, just as bad if not worse then 9E. After getting to the HQ I wanted to leave.
I was BSing with a pilot who was there for some reason and he asked me if I was excited to get my first airline job... I was like "ahhhh this would be more then my third job and Ive been at 9E for 6 years"... He said this is about as entry level as you get.. The door is right there I suggest you use it. I actually did.. NR'd home with my tail between my legs.
I mean nothing bad to any Republic/Shuttle etc people as every CREW MEMBER was very nice...

I must have missed the part where being a regional pilot was a proud profession. Pretty sure for the most part it always has, and always will be a stepping stone. Right or wrong, good or bad, it is what it is.
If anyone on here thinks it's stupid for someone to go to republic versus a "industry leading" regional, that's just pure stupidity. Being on the front end of a hiring wave of 53 airplanes versus going to the bottom of an "industry leading" seniority list is everything. I'd go to republic in a heart beat over any other regional right now if I were applying.
