Republic Reserve Question
I have a question regarding Republic, Shuttle America in particular. If you are based in IND, how long does the company give you to get to base if you are called in? What is the difference in time for a short call versus long call if that is applicable to this certificate? Looking to drive from 2 hours away. Thanks.

If you have to make a two hour drive you're probably stretching it a little. You don't want to mess around while you're on probation but to each their own. People do it, and they do just fine. I would say in the 1.5 yr that I have been on res in ORD I'd say I have been given the 90 call only a handful of times. BUT I have been mildly/highly sr on res for about a year now, so I can't speak for the guys who are jr on res. Res at this place can suck(we have little to no contract protection), especially at outstations like IND. Good luck!
