Republic Airlines is Recruiting off PilotPool
Got a call from Republic today to schedule an interview. They downloaded my resume from PilotPool.com and called me the same day. Haven't called them back yet, but planning too and telling them I read Teamsters Local 357 and am not interested in working for them until they ever improve their work rules and get a contract.

I hear and read about things like this here all the time, and yet I know I sat face to face with them a few weeks ago with HR with my clean record, no serious issues, meet the mins, will work anywhere in any airplane for peanuts, and was still sent home. So was half the pilot group I was in. Take that for what it's worth. The guy interviewing me made at least one major mistake checking my logs though, he thought the missed problem codes shown on my ATP written test score printout was a list of failed FAA exams which it is obviously NOT. I have never failed a written or oral exam, ever. Blundering incompetence, maybe that is the reason they can't staff their airplanes.

Clearly you didn't take the $1500 interview prep class from ATP. You need to pay money for the privilege of working for peanuts.
Before anyone gets their feathers ruffled this post is sarcastic.
