When you talk to a flight instructor they talk about which major they're gonna work for, you talk to a 6 regional FO and they talk about what they're gonna do after they quit flying.
Unfortunately you were bamboozled! Republic has no systems instructors. They contract that out to FSI. Classes right now are as full as they want them to be. The limitation is available sim time worldwide.
