I am signing in to this board for the first time since 2010, according to the info on the upper right corner.
I want ANYONE thinking of applying to Republic to know something important:
If you get placed in Chicago or Miami on the Republic certificate, you will have NO flight benefits.
If the recruiter denies this fact, ask her if she has American flight benefits. She will say yes. Ask her for a favor....ask her to look up the load for a flight from where she is in IND to MIA and to tell you how many open seats there are on that flight. She will not be able to do it.
Why?
They allow us to buy a ZED on American flights (including our own planes) and call that flight benefits. A ZED fare is a basic privilege that allows you to travel on the absolute lowest priority category on non-revenue travel. It allows you to be able to afford to fly to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific if there is a seat open.
There is an enormous difference between a ZED fare, and being able to check loads and list yourself in Jetnet on the plane you just flew in that is continuing to your home city.
There will also be no new tentative agreement.
In this country, corporations get what corporations want.
The fact of the matter is, our CEO wants to maintain the status-quo. He does not want to spend more money on us. He will continue to park planes and blame the weather for cancellations for as long as possible until he can escape with his very handsome golden parachute that you should look up if you have a chance.
He is a fantastic liar and can go on national TV on a show called "undercover boss" to promise the employees he worked with (at Frontier) the moon, and then lay them all off within 2 years.

They will even cheat you on your paycheck.
Don't fall for the lies that are part of the culture here at Republic.
