Here you go typical41
1-Does Republic pay pilots guarantee pay during initial training? Yes.
2-Does Republic pay per diem in initial training? No.
3-Does Republic prvoide a hotel during training? Yes during initial training (duel). No, if you're upgrading, displacing to another certificate or doing recurrent and the training is located where you're based.
4-Is all training in IND or does it vary? No. Indoc in IND and the rest is mostly in St. Louis or Houston (can vary if they get backed up).
5-How much are union(teamsters) dues in % of pay? The last time I looked it was about $35 per check, not sure about %.
6-Do 1st year probationary pilots also have to pay dues? Yes.
7-A more broad question, but still trying to figure out non-rev benefits for Republic. Does American actually give non-rev benefits to republic pilots. It appears that some bases or certificates get benefits with multiple carriers....is that possible? Yes if your base flies for multiple carriers you will get multiple benefits. Like you said, the benefits vary based on your certificate and base (too many combinations to list).
8-Im guessing they are still offering a signing bonus as of 1/31/13?
Yes.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help with these questions. You're welcome.
