Republic Airlines opinion?

I just interviewed with Republic at AirInc. They want 1500tt with 300me. They said they wanted to keep in touch with me over the next few months as I build more time. They seemed very interested and I have no skeletons or past bs in my record. The hours were the only thing. I want to fly the EMB-170 and I like what I heard at the seminar today. Any opinions or current pilots who'd be willing to pm me and start a conversation. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance. Swim.

Good to hear you want to join the team. Only thing I can caution you is that there is no way to guarentee you will get the 170. You could end up on the 145 or the CRJ.

Why? Unless you live in a RW or S5 domicile, there's no incentive to...the 135 to the 190 at RAH pays the same in the right seat.

I think what he is reffering to is the payscale that RAH has in place for the E-190.

Yeah the FO payscale at RAH is the same across the board. So any aircraft is suitable. The best thing to do when get the letter of being accepted before being offered a class is to decide which certificate offers the best base for you and hope for that certificate class.

Some have denied classes to try to get the one they want. I would say don't say no more than once.

I left colgan air to come here just before upgrade and I love it here...love it...QOL is everything

I never mentioned the payscale, I just think the 170 is a cool little airplane. I just wanted to know about QOL, co-workers, management, etc...

You are choosing a company because you think the plane is "a Cool Little Airplane"?

all i can say is WOW. Your priority should be PAY, QOL, Bases.

Just love some of the opinions of these guys on here. all they do is judge others. I just think the plane was great to fly in the other day and it just happens to be a perk of Republic's fleet. I really feel sorry for a lot of you guys that your prima donna life sucks so bad. Seriously, I feel sorry for you.
