In other words are they typing new hire pilots at Republic on the 170 wether or not you already have your ATP with or without an already existing type?
I did a search of this forum but the answer was not clear.
Thanks in advance.

This is correct, just the SIC type initially. It's my understanding though, that the PIC type will be done either before August or at the next PC. the reason for this, I was told, is because theree are not enough check airman available to conduct all the ATP/type rides for everyone. Don't know if thats the truth or not. Also keep in mind, if you go to the 170, you'll have to sign a 2 year training contract.
