So, from those of you who work for Republic, why did you choose it over others.
How long can I expect to stay on Reserve?
After coming off of reserve, how many hours, (within the FAA limits), can I hope to get, (the more the better since I don't have a family to worry about and want to upgrade as quick as I can)
Note: I don't have anything holding me down to a location, so I have no issue with moving and I plan to live near my base rather than commuting.
If I were you, I would apply now to Republic. You can interview now and get a class date once you meet the time requirements. We are filling classes for April/May because of a simulator back log. Reserve time depends on base. 4-6 months unless MIA. Once you hold a line there is always extra flying to add from other crew members. Most junior upgrade 2 years 5 months.
