Republic not interviewing, classes filled...
For the rest of the year.
I just spoke to a recruiter.
Dammit, they were my first choice.

easiest way to get in has always been the cadet program, but that doesn’t help if you’ve already graduated

Cadets can interview in college if they attend a partner university after finishing their instrument rating. No flight time requirement, just a GPA requirement and no more than 1 checkride failure. Filling class dates way down the road.

They still have to have at least the restricted ATP requirements to be hired. Typically, they work at the University's flight program as instructors to get the time required.
They do no better or worse than any other candidate with similar time/experience. Many of them do quite well, in fact.

Long ago, in a far away land prospective pilots would instruct until reaching 135 minimums. They would then venture into world of night cargo, flying half broken aircraft into a myriad of weather. Once reaching the magical 3000/1000 they would be granted an interview with a regional airline. Yes, flying a 19 seat turboprop for the wonderful compensation of $20,000 a year. And then....maaaaybe...after upgrading to captain, a legacy carrier would call and offer them a Flight Engineer opportunity.
And then they would be furloughed...............
The End.

Jeez. Lost touch with reality somewhere along the way, I see.
