Don't take my word for it, but I know someone that interviewed with Republic this week and got an e-mail that said that they were not currently looking for first officers at this time. Anyone know anything about this?

 

"interviewed" with republic, then got that email? Because that obviously doesnt make any sense Or maybe I think you meant "applied" to republic? If thats what youre asking I dont know i just talked to some people in PHL and theyre still understaffed there but who knows that may have just changed

 

I interviewed towards the end of March and am scheduled for a May class. I've heard through the grapevine that recent new hires are going into a hiring pool. This is really surprising considering their projected hiring figures for 2008. I haven't heard exactly why they're having to do this, but one can make a pretty darn good guess after looking at the overall industry/economy right now.

 

So, I guess it's not possible to go to an interview and go away from it not knowing if you have a job or not?? He flew up to Indy this weekend and got the e-mail today.

 

I know of a class date in June for RW FO's...... personally I would be surprised if they stopped hiring. We are pretty short rsv in all the S5 bases, guys have even had to sit rsv out of base for crew sched to get coverage. RW is still taking delivery of aircraft and we still have a net gain of another 18 or so acft by end of march 09 and we are nowhere near staffed for that number. Hell we still lost over 30 to attrition last month.... and I know of several more that have resigned in the last few days. Now... they may just have all their classes filled for the next 8 weeks or so and if they arnt sure exactly what they need to fill perhaps they are holding off on class dates.....ANYTHING is possible. Just have to what and see...... I do know that as of a day or two ago they still had First Officer listed as jobs needing filling on RJET.com. Good luck.

 

I remember when I applied ages ago, there was an error in their emailing form letter system or whatever. I got a similar email, then a few days a later a new email came saying it was in error.

I am not saying that is the case at all, but and idea

no i mean its weird to go to an interview, and afterwards having them send you an email saying theyre not hiring. Because that leaves you wondering "why did they interview me?" Its more appropriate for them to call or email you saying yes or no you did or didnt get the job.

 

I understand, I just wanted to see if anyone else had any info. Maybe there were some issues with the applicant. I'm not sure

 

Just interviewed today and heard nothing about a hiring pool. According to HR they are still hiring into all 3 certificates. Im excited for the opportunity to fly for them, lots of growth potential at the company EVEN with the way things are looking in the economy right now. I will let you guys know if I get an email or phone call... Im waiting anxiously...

 

Thats what I had heard NorCal... I talked to an indy ca just yesterday when I picked up a bird to repo for a C check.
