A captain I was flying with told me that Republic will pay off your training contract from another carrier and give you a 2500 dollar bonus if you take the CRJ as a new hire. Is this true? Also, I heard that the CRJ at Republic has no growth and guys aren't moving much on the seniority list and sitting reserve for long periods of time. I even heard that Republic was looking to go to an all E-Jet fleet. Any truth to this? Someone who knows for sure please either squash the rumor or confirm it for me.

Thanks, UNDGUY
