Air Wisconsin. Hands down the best outfit for Mil Leave. One of my old squadron buddies is there. He took 4 years off from AWAC and had a few gaps in his orders, but they were very awesome with him. He even got cards thanking him for his service. Here at Envoy, most pilots, and management, think you are some sort of "cheater of the system" if you go on Mil Leave.

In the failed TA, the company tried to drastically reduce credit for mil leave which would almost guarantee a reserve schedule with <11 days off for all military pilots.
We currently have pilots getting attendance write-ups because the company doesn't want to allow travel time (USERRA 101) to/from drill.
Unless you want 9 days off or less and a commute to reserve I'd go to a different company. Yes, Republic prorates your days off and pay for mil days, even if you could have held them in your bid.

Republic protections for MIL leave are the bare minimum required by law (at best). Simple things like bonuses, 401K and return to insurance take months (literally) of emails to resolve. Also, mil leave is treated less favorably than a few other leave types which can cause/force a reserve schedule.
