RAH mins
 

I applied at RAH through the website this weekend with 750 TT and 110 multi. An instructor where I work got hired with 800 TT and 50 multi. I got a bounce back email saying they would pursue other candidates, but it was a generic email, so should I send my resume in to someone directly?

published mins are 1000tt 100me...have heard of people getting in with less if someone walks in their stuff. Keep trying though, the email response is automated and ive heard of people that have way more time than the mins getting the same email.. just keep at it, we need people

I applied with 800TT and 250 Multi and got that bounce back email. But, the next day I got a call from their HR dept asking to set up an interview. The woman said the computer system will automatically deny people so the hiring department has to call the applicants manually to set up the interviews.

Get rid of the damn computers and automation then?!?! :D

Sorry - just had another Windows error message and have had it with these silly things LoL

I've got a friend who got the bounce back e-mail. Now that he's found another job, he gets a weekly phone call asking for an interview. Have someone walk it in, fax it in, mail it in. Be persistent and I'm sure you'll hear something.

A year ago they wouldn't even touch you if you weren't at 1500TT and 300 ME (DCA guys not included)...those days, it would seem, are long gone. Just keep at it.

Fax it in. I applied thru the website.....after a week nothing. Faxed it to them in one morning, withing three hours I had a call back asking me to come to INDY. I have way over the mins, but if you want to get it looked at FAX it to them. When she called to invite me she asked ME if I had applied online..... so that tells ya how much they may or may not look at that system.

When I applied, they were firm on the 1500/300. I got the email, even after I had their mins. The day I started class, they dropped the mins to 1000/100. I haven't kept up to see if guys with less than that are getting hired.

Who is RAH again? Republic right? Pardon the military newb...

Republic Airways Holdings...

Includes Republic, Ctahcatqauy, and Shuttle America.

whoever came up with the name Chautauqua is a genius O_o

...pronounced "Shau-nee-quaa" :p

It is a county in NY, where the airline first started.

At least it's not pronounced "Col-gan" ;)

There is a controlled down in IAH that used to call Colgan.. Cold One :)

RAH is hiring with 800/100 now. I know of at least one guy in a 170 class with 600 total. I think he was a flight academy type. I also know one dude who got hired for CHQ with 400ish and a few month old CFI ticket. I can't believe that Mesa is going to stay in business for much longer if we can't find pilots either.

You'll probably have to take that up with the Chautauqua indian tribe

Let me say this first and foremost: what I am about to tell is purely hearsay.

The rumor is that US Airways is displeased in the way that Republic is handling it's Express operation, and there is talk that they will strip Republic of some of it's routes and give it to PSA. I heard this same thing from two seperate Captains, but I do not know how credible the information is.

My point of all this is that you should really research Republic before deciding your future.

The sky is falling, run away!!! :rolleyes:

I've been flying professionally for 6 years. Not as long as some, but enough to hear my share of rumors. I have heard hundreds of rumors that "XXX is getting dropped!!!". Jesus, mabye atleast 50 of those were about Mesa. Well they're still here.

It all ebbs and flows, and the truth of it all is that no line pilot has a damn clue what is really going on behind closed doors.

I'm based in PHL, and have not heard that we are screwing up more than anyone else. The WHOLE USAir operation is jacked up all the way from the A-330's to the Dash 8's.

I honestly think our crews (as well as all Express crews) do a hell of a job with the hell that we are handed in places like PHL, DCA, CLT and LGA.

Example...Fueler in PHL can't get a fuel door lock closed. Decides to beat it with a flashlight and leave it. Fuel needs to be added, next fueler can't open fuel door. We take a delay while MX attends to it.

Who gets charged the delay? Mabye the convicted felon that fueled us?

Nope....Republic did, for MX.

What IS happening is that due to the J4J recall and it's disasterous effect on our already low staffing, we will most likely park airplanes over the holidays. That was in a recent SEC filing. I would imagine that slack might be picked up, mabye by PSA. (Aulthough they will have the J4J recall problem as well)

Does anyone know if they will trade multi time for total time? I have about 1100 total but only 30 multi with an MEI. Would I even have a shot if someone walked it in?

I would not consider that credible information at all.

I heard that Airways is upset with PSA because PSA wants to redo their ID badges in Continental colors, so SkyWest is going to get all of PSA's CR7 flying.

Holy crap I can't even absorb all the rumors out there ;-P

These forums may not be perfect for the latest and greatest facts, but they certainly are a fantastic time-capsule to revisit once in a while!!

I would say it is highly unlikely that Airways would strip any flying away from Chautauqua and give it to us. We can't cover the flying we have now. Even if they did, who cares. Chautauqua flys for every other airline out there and US Airways is among the worst of them.
