I left a nice 91 operation to come to Republic and moved into base. Don’t regret the pay cut at all. On year 3 pay and with some pickups and knowing the contract I’ll clear 80K if I stay around. Still spending ample amounts of nights in my own bed.
I got my 1,000 Part 121 in 12 months. Work hard and it’s possible. The quick upgrade will be back soon. Republic has been a pretty good place to work at with a great group of pilots. Good luck.
