Republic mins
 

ATP's website has a fairly new letter of agreement with Republic. It states that applicants who have completed the Regional Jet program can apply with 500/100. It then says that all other applicants can apply with 800/250. It was shocking because Republic has always been one to be firm on their mins. I'm guessing the 800/250 mins are only for ATP pilots? I haven't heard of these mins anywhere else.

Comair's letter of agreement is comical, because it states that applicants who complete the Regional Jet program can apply with a minimum of 600 hours. I guess I better rush to this program so I can interview with a minimum of 600 hours:D

yeah you should hold off and wait to go to RAH, so when they buy Comair, you will be on top. And its always better to pitch than catch ;) right ASA!

And this surprises you why again? They only need about 700 pilots, with all the other regionals hiring, I don't think they can get very picky anymore.

It surprises me because Republic is one of the good airlines that many people are willing to hold out for or jump ship to. They offer quick upgrades and bonuses to pilots qualified in the 145. I would jump ship if I was at a dead end regional.

A 24 month upgrade today does not guarantee a 24 month upgrade 2 years from now...

Regional wannabes really need to realize this :rolleyes:

Awhh see now I'm gonna have to change my position caption. ;)

Unlike most other regionals, RAH is still turning away applicants who aren't qualified. It's not a definite job by any stretch of the imagination.

...and that's a good thing by all means. But they're also cancelling flights due to crew shortage, and playing musical crews between the systems. So again, qualified applicants yes, picky about times....I don't think they have that luxury anymore.

Good Afternoon,

Has anyone been through the RJ program at ATP? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Best feedback on the net right here ----> Don't waste your money on it.


Cheers! :)

Thanks for the feedback. Any particular reason why it is such a waste?

Anyone know when the next couple 170/175 classes are scheduled for Republic?

As soon as they can possibly make them.

I would like to know why people think the RJ program is a waste of time. It seems to me that it could only help someone that is not familiar with a glass cockpit or CRJ procedures. I mean the interview consist of flying a CRJ simulater. Now I dont know about you, but I have never been in a CRJ or any simulator for that matter. So I think it would benefit me to get sme instruction in it so when I do go to the interview I will have some idea of whats going on.

I mean just because you meet the minimums to get hird doesnt mean you will pass the interview. People tend to forget this fact. If you have never worked in a professional airline environment it can be different. So Ithik its best to get as much onfo as you can to work in this type of environment

I've never even seen a crj and I smoked the interview. The sim is a pcatd, you can find one at your local flight school. The ATP sim program is a waste of money, save it for your first year as an FO.

Airlines must respect it though. There are many regionals that are giving reduced minimums to people that complete this course. Why is that?

LOL....that's so money ! :D:D

You have upper management written all over you.. just stick with it :rolleyes:
