Papa Johns had a sign out they are looking for delivery drivers. lol
I would also file a claim with the labor board for wrongful termination... By the looks of this you'd have a great shot of either

A. Getting your job back with lost compensation

or

B. They'll pay out of their pockets to settle your claim.

If they are performing questionable maintenance, they'll want the FAA and labor board to go away ASAP.

Republic and America Eagle are also hiring with a 5K bonus. I'd choose Eagle over Republic for better QOL. Good luck

Currently experiencing some delays with the labor department. Appears someone claimed they had zero employees the last two quarters. It's all getting straightened out and back pay will be received after the labor dept and IRS are done camping out in these guys back yard. In the meantime, interviewed for a flight engineer position with the USAF Reserves. Was offered the job and just waiting for the paperwork to catch up. Could take months. Also waiting for an interview date with Norfolk Southern. My family, for the most part, had been on the railroad starting back with PRR as engineers and conductors since the late 1800's. Have a Lear charter wanting to bring me on and a sky diving operation opening another drop zone looking for pilots starting in May. It's just the waiting game. Worked for AA on the ground during college and hitting a road block with Eagle. I'd come on with 5 years company senority and have been receiving some flack about it.

Orientation for passenger train engineer May 13th for the DC to NYC line. Have a phone interview with Wiggins today for a C208 run from EWR to BOS. We'll see how they both go. Which one is more of a career, benefits, etc. I'm tired of stepping stones and ready to settle down with one company.

PDT is not a career airline, and he said he wants to settle down. Glad to hear of all the new jobs! That was fast.

No, it is not a career airline, but he has mouths to feed.

Good luck with the usafr job but do understand that it could take a lot of time. Hurry up and wait is the normal mantra

The FO pay is atrocious but you could easily get PIT on the Q400 at Republic, even if you just use it to stay current until something better come along.
