Friends;

Just came to learn via Republic's own "welcome letter" the most deceiving practice I have yet to see in these Regionals.
First, Republic creamy advertises they will pay for your ATP-CTP course. It's on their website also. However, the make no mention whatsoever until you are hired. They send you a welcome letter that clearly states YOU will be taxed on a 1099 form for the full cost of the ATP-CTP course not to exceed $4,500 PLUS hotel costs and other expenses they may incur
In addition, should you not be able to make their chosen date for initial training, then you will owe them the entire costs for the ATP-CTP course again plus their hotel and airfare
Way to go Republic! Republic must really think Pilots are morons..
Wait until you get sued for deceiving practices.
