You define yourself, you make the effort and you get yourself hired. Republic’s name will not help you, nor hurt you. Either will any other regional outside of the 10-year flows.
Republic pilots go to any of the Big 6, like any other qualified applicants. I can tell you first hand this rumor has been going on since 2008, maybe longer. Rather than criticizing yourself when you get no call from a legacy, people find it easier to base assumptions on useless/groundless statistics provided by the union. These stats are published from pilots that choose to VOLUNTEER their info to them, like any other carrier.
It’s a baseless rumor, that’s all it is.
I get your point, but that only answer the second part of my question. Still looking for answers on part one of my question.
Truthfully, I get the whole define yourself and whatever else, but I’m trying to figure out the “why” to the “what” and your reply didn’t help much.
To add to my hunch, upgrade at RAH is a slightly longer than other regionals (for obvious reasons), so becoming a check airman would also take a bit longer compared to other companies. This would be my guess, but I could be wrong.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
