everyone calm down. when president McCain authorizes the war with Iran next year, THAT will stimulate the economy and bring oil prices down.

We should probably get back to the subject at hand, before the mods go click happy! There's a politics forum on flightinfo.com, if you're interested.

On the subject the rjet website has a first officer job posting that was just added on the 15th so unless they called hiring quits in the last few days I would say things are still looking up. Like Jacks said there are more people that need simulator training than there are simulators available.

The difference is that oil reserves are traded in dollars, and foreign airlines (who buy crude with euros, yen, and yuan) are able to hedge the cost increase because they get more dollars (thus more oil) per unit of currency compared to US Airlines.

lol guys and gals I did not intend for this to become a political debate, I was just curious about Republic, they seem to be a real solid regional, anyone have any other insight about Republic that you can't find on other websites similar to this one?

We are as solid as several other jet regional companies...that doesnt mean there might not be some lean times ahead. Good luck.

Current 170 new hires were let go this morning. I'd say hiring will stop until we find homes for 12 homeless 170's and five more on order by year-end.

Wow...I've got 3 good friends who are/were in 170 training or just about to start it. Thoughts with them. Looks like it's going to be a rough day for a lot of people.
