All I have to do is start training and it appears as if I am in the clear, but I'm fairly confident if I pulled that stunt, I'd be blacklisted as the major d-bag of the year. I'm looking forward to getting into the regionals...regardless of the company. I'm fairly confident RAH is stable and they certainly have a bright future with all of the new a/c....I'm sure it has many negatives but I'm going in expecting the worst, so we'll see!

Jumping to 121 was pretty unexpected, so I didn't have a lot of time to research the forums(in hindsight, it's been a little
intimidating reading about RAH, hopefully it's like RateMyProfessor in the sense that the only people that complain are inherent to it anyways); really just went to the first interview I got and accepted their offer. We'll see how it goes!

Holy sh*t you are serious. You don't know about Republic at all do you. You know they are parking airplanes right? Search this forum for the words "cancellation pay" and start reading!!

I know I was busy getting shot at in Afghanistan last year and didn't really have access to an FAA authorized testing center over there. Not sure on others but I wasn't able to.

Kind of a senseless question don't you think?

FYI Republic have said they will pay for the ATP-CTP at AeroSim in Orlando, however that cost comes out of the sign-on bonus they offer. So I guess it's cost-neutral to you as a prospective employee. It's probably an advantage over paying for it yourself and being paid the full sign-on bonus because now you're not paying income tax on that ~$5k.

But yes, I'm worried about them parking planes too. Will we see more regionals offering retention schemes?

Original bonus was $7.5k, and w/ ATP CTP a course, it is now $5k....no contract. A good deal, if you ask me. ATP CTP course is $5k itself, not factoring in airfare and 9 nights of hotel.
