I just got the following e-mail response from Republic after publishing my AirlineApps to them:

Subject: Republic Airways Pathway Opportunity

"Thank you for your application and continued interest in the First Officer position! At this time we are still not scheduling FO interviews, unless you have 500 hours of upgradeable time. We recently rolled out a new Pathway Program to build 135 PIC time through Cape Air. This new program was designed to get you to the right seat of one of our Embraer 175s within seven months. If you qualify for an unrestricted ATP you may be able eligible to start as a Captain at Cape Air, where you will start building your time towards 121 upgrade. Once you hit 700 hours of 135 PIC time at Cape Air you will be eligible to choose an upcoming class date with Republic Airways."

FWIW.....
