In the failed TA, the company tried to drastically reduce credit for mil leave which would almost guarantee a reserve schedule with <11 days off for all military pilots.

We currently have pilots getting attendance write-ups because the company doesn't want to allow travel time (USERRA 101) to/from drill.

Unless you want 9 days off or less and a commute to reserve I'd go to a different company. Yes, Republic prorates your days off and pay for mil days, even if you could have held them in your bid.
