Republic Bases
 

How do the domiciles for Republic work. Are certain bases for certain aircraft? How do the different carriers such as Shuttle America and Chautauqua relate to Republic and the bases?

Off the top of my head:

Republic Bases (All 170's)

DCA
PIT
IND
DEN

Shuttle America Bases (All 170's)

ORD
IND
CMH

Chautauqua Bases

SDF - CRJ
IAH - CRJ
CRP - CRJ
STL - 140's
CVG - 135's
The rest are 145's
IND
SDF
GSO
BUF
LGA
CMH
RIC

Am I missing any?

Good job. I don't think you're missing any.

I don't know how long they'll keep the newhire section open if the flaming continues, but there is a wealth of information on the front page there as well as in the newhire section.

What's the most junior 145 FO base(s)?

Right now, if you get the 145, you'll probably end up in whatever you want, as long as it isn't BUF or LGA. If you don't get what you want, you can probably get it in a month or two. LGA is really senior. Last I looked, the most junior FO at LGA had a year at the company.

I'm in the May 30th class for the CRJ. Will I be on reserve longer than the ERJ guys?

I'm in class with you.

Does anyone know how hard is ORD to get as a base with Shuttle America? Any help would be much appreciated.

ORD is more senior for FOs than IND or CMH. The most junior FO in ORD is a 5/30/06 hire.

How long would a new FO have to be with the company to hold Buffalo?

I cant wait that long LOL. I look forward to seeing you there! :D

Does anyone know if the CRJ guys will be on reserve longer than the ERJ guys?

I really do not know, cause I am on the 145. It would depend how many more CRJ guys they need to hire.

There's really no way to tell. I would think with the amount of people they want to hire that reserve wouldn't be too bad. Linda said that there were people that didn't have to do reserve at all. I'm pretty optimistic about it. Hey send me a pm message if you can so we can get each other's information to get in touch before class. What kind of background do you come from (other regional, cfi, cargo)??

I think rumor has it that base is closing, but I'm not a 145 driver and don't pay attention since it can't affect my monthly bidding. It's a small base - less than 20 FO's and the most junior FO is a December 2006 hire.

You sure will be.

:confused:

Anybody know how junior or senior DCA is going at the moment? Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, what are you basing that on?

No you won't. If you bid corpus currently you'll walk right onto the line. The most senior guy was still in training as of 2 weeks ago.

See thats what I had heard also. (about corpus) Houston is supposed to take a little bit longer but not a lot. The program is new and understaffed supposedly. Of course it's all rumors.

what's the difference between senior bases and junior bases....?? i'm assuming the level of skill required or experience...

Amount of time at the company....
i.e years of service

DCA is still pretty junior for Republic 170 FO's.

Thanks Sharky.

Just got hired onto the 145 and was wondering if any one lived in RIC or GSO and how do they like it?

I'm based in GSO for the rest of this month. Everyone here is great, one big happy family. No really, the people down here are great to work with. The city is very nice if you want to live here. I've heard RIC people are much the same, but don't move there unless you're ok with having your wife raped and your dog shot.

Congrats again man! I knew you'd get it. Now, where's my money!!!?

Thanks man! As far as money goes lets see how much I have left over from my $7500 contract lol.
