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.....

I’ve got a phone call from a republic recruiter. If you currently have a CFI or other job, it is not worth it to go Cape Air. Eventually, regionals will start to hire FOs.
I heard many foreign pilots apply Cape Air cos they are the only airline company sponsor greencard.

Does turbine time matter?
I already have ATP minimums. Still no one is hiring right now. So I am thinking about going to Cape Air. I know pay is not good and base is also not great either. Still I can build 135 time and pathway program to Spirit once I reach 3000 hrs.
Still, many people told me it's gonna be a bad decision and waste time cos I cannot build turbine time.
Beside Spirit, any major/ULLC or Fractionals(netjets, flexjet) would care turbine time?

NetJets and Flexjet will hire you. Both have upgrades to PIC in less than 2 years. FlyExclusive is another fractional based in Kinston, NC that is hiring with quick upgrades. All of them offer home basing unless you're really, really, out in the boondocks.

That is why I am slightly reluctant to apply Cape Air. Because I do not want to waste time at Cape Air if nobody values that experience. At the same time, I do not want to wait and sit until regionals start to hire me.

The only reason NetJets upgrades are only listed as 2 years, is because the lull in hiring post Covid. Hired today; it will probably take longer. But no real idea what that number is.
