ASA and Republic question
 

I interviewed at ASA last wednesday and was offered the job and given a 9/10 class date. The day I got back from the interview I got a call from Republic wanting an interview... I like both companys and I have done pros and cons on them both. I would like to hear some opinions from other people on what they think about both companys and whether or not you guys think I should take the interview with Republic. Thanks...

I would think RAH would be better depends on where you want to live and if your going to commute or not. You always want to live in base. what are your times like if you dont mind me asking. Also did ASA tell you your equipment and if you got the crj would you only fly the 200 or 700 or both

times are 1040/85... ASA didnt tell what equipment, it sounded like it was the crj, but they didnt say which one

Aircraft is assigned withing the first couple days of training at ASA. The number of ATR slots is usually a lot less than the number of CRJ slots. ATR is given to the youngest guys/gals in class, since age determines senority within each class. Usually this number is somewhere from 2-4. A buddy of mine who is 23yrs old was assigned the ATR back in April, while another friend who is 21 was assigned the -200. Anotherwards, it's a crap shoot if your young. Not sure how many people are getting assigned the -700 these days.

Im in Indoc here at ASA, we had 14 guys in our class, 4 got the ATR and 10 of us were awareded the CRJ 200, there were no 700 slots....I am the youngest on the jet, and came 1 slot from getting the ATR, mosty of teh guys in our class are 30s and 40s, I just turned 26....anyways , it s a good place, just need to get this contract squared away, the training dept, is awesome as well. Good luck.

Definitely interview w/ Republic. IMO, this is a better company going forward, and offers more domiciles. ASA has only ATL and the travel benefits on Delta are getting worse on Dec 1

My opinion? RAH has a stronger future...but best of luck - you always need a little bit of it in this industry ;-)

I think you are golden with those times.

I always tell people to check out my previous post. It's on my interview experince. PM me if you have any questions.

RAH definitely. I believe this past month ALL but one of their pairings were 4 day trips. I have a bud from college there and he says it's ok but would have liked RAH more. Also RAH has an Atlanta base in the 170 that is rather junior.

It is not junior on either side CA FO. It just opened in July. I have been there over a year as a FO and I went back on RSV to be in ATL and i was 5 from the bottom where at all other bases I am in the top 1/3.

A FO passed on an upgrade award to go to ATL as a FO. And he is like 10 out of 40 if that tells you anything. I think there might be 2 guys that were hired this year there
