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 I'm pretty sure my friends at MidWest would have a hard time agreeing with you... |

All I did was answer the phone. I have no idea what the logic or system was to it, I'm just extremely grateful to have gotten the call. Hope to see you there soon.

Can I ask what the last initials are of both you (Right Seat Dude) and the CFI are? I'm wondering if they are calling alphabetically? Thanks again. |
I just talked with a CFI buddy of mine that will be in the class too. He was part of the "hired for 3-days" crowd a few years ago as well.
He and two other guys I know all got the call. One accepted and the other two declined. The door is slowly, slowly reopening... |

One quick glance at how upper management at RAH has handled their latest acquisitions, most notably Midwest, will absolutely prove that they don't give a dam- about you or anyone else that works for them. There are other examples out there (100 seat pay, etc.) but you hopefully get the picture. P.S. I don't mean to rain on your parade. I'm glad that you're finally getting back to a job you enjoy. |
did they even attempt to call back their furloughs??......I work with a furloughed guy from republic and he has not been called.....
|
I guess what confuses me is how they can run a new hire class with pilots on furlough? Doesn't the contract require pilots to be recalled in seniority order?

In regards to the to-be-integrated furloughs, they will all be offered spots where they can hold one. |

Yo are mistaken...they have all been called back, some have by-passed...but all have been called. |
