No need to worry about learning the 170, since FSI does a descent job preparing you for the checkride. The hardest part will probably be getting use to the automation. So are you being hired as a new hire, or a returning furlough?

If it's a buddy messing with me, he's hacked into Republic's email system and is faking caller IDs with coinciding voice messages and callback numbers. He also has two women in on the conspiracy, coordinating my PRIA paperwork.
I can appreciate your instincts. However, when we were let go two years ago, it was clear the people there felt badly about the situation. Even though they didn't have to, they gave us two weeks' pay for three days of our time and what I believe were sincere apologies for a situation they hadn't foreseen. They told us we would be given priority. And despite drastic changes in the job marketplace, they've kept their word. Frankly, it would have been reasonable for them to forget any intentions they had at the time, given the change in job marketplace. In fact, it seems to me they've gone above and beyond. Sadly, this is rare enough a thing in our current world that it's reasonable to wonder whether or not a buddy is playing a trick on me. It's the real deal, and I think it says a lot about what kind of company Republic is. And to all the naysayers and whiners, commence flaming and attacking at will. :D

You've been on the street for two years, not working in the industry, haven't been asked to update a resume or come in for a re-interview. and class starts next week. I really do wish you the best, but are you sure one of your buddy's isn't messing with you?

What's wrong with flying a "lowly" turboprop?

It must be because I am a "lowly turbo prop" pilot. If I flew the cool 170 like you maybe I would be all smiles.

Gotcha. I misunderstood. My bad. I happen to be a big fan of lowly turboprop pilots. When I was on the ERJ, the best captains I flew with were almost without exception former turboprop pilots.
My props to all you turboprop guys- pun intended. :D

The only negativity out of him is that he's a cheerleader for his bottom feeding airline. Would probably fly for 5 dollars an hour if called by chuck.
