I've had friends well qualified for even Spirit or Allegiant go to Republic but I've also known of peers with multiple check ride busts, DUI's, criminal records, open LOI's get interview calls as well. I think it's safe to say Republic is an airline having staffing issues.
Oh, you can get the call. I'm not disputing that. They interview MASSIVE amounts of people. A tiny minority get the offer. If they were having staffing issues the number would be higher.
You're helping the race to the bottom by telling anyone they are having staffing issues. Not only is it not true, it's ridiculous.
