Republic Airways
 

Hey anyone interviewed at Republic lately? What airplanes and bases are they assigning? How does their training pay work? Do they cover hotels? Per Diem? Whats your pay while in training?

Anything different if you already have your SIC in the airplane?

Hiring for the 170 and 145. No CRJ new-hire classes in sight. With the amount of movement right now, you can probably hold any base you want within a couple of months. You get paid $400/wk during the first month of training, then guarantee after that. Hotels are paid for by the company during training, but they are double occupancy. No per diem during training because they claim you have not been assigned to a base yet, so there is no way you are out of base. I believe they may still be offering a $2500 bonus if you are currently qualified on the aircraft that you are assigned to. If you fly the 145 right now, you will only get the bonus if you are assigned to the 145 at CHQ.

I've got my 145 SIC. The 2500 would be nice. I'd love to get SDF as thats home for me, but if they offered the 170, I'd be hard pressed not to take it.. I've heard rumors about giving people who have their SIC in the 145 already the 170 to avoid paying the 2500, any truth to that?

How low are the hiring at? I see they are doing an open house in Boston tomorrow night at 6pm, I thought about going but I only have 260ttl/90me

Not that low...not even close

lol I didn't think so, but I did fly with 2 different pilots who work for them that said they've had 2-new hires within the last few months come out of training, one at 300ttl, and one a 255ttl...........

I think you answered your own question. It is a unique time (in the business) and I would not let an opportunity slip by.

Oki... You serious?

I can tell you that nobody in the current Shuttle class has less than about 1000 hours.... some have some lowish ME but total time is there. I know of someone a few classes ahead with 380/180 .......... but that is not the norm that we have seen.

I don't think they hire that low..........
