RAH 145 or 175?
So I have a class date with Republic for Jan 6 in the 175. HR calls me yesterday and says that they are now offering a $20,000 signing bonus in the 145 since I have previous 145 experience. I was looking forward to flying the 175 but the 20 grand is very appealing too. Anyone on the inside who can offer some insight?

I'd find all that out first. Call HR back and see if they'll send you the terms to the bonus.

Word has it that they're hiring into the 145 because there aren't enough slots in training for the 170 and they want people to come in. Therefore, if you take the 145, you'll get a great bonus and you'll come to the 170 as soon as they park the 170. If you're a commuter, this might not be a good choice since you'll be on reserve for quite a while on the 145.

I'm leaning toward the 175. I don't know if the extra bonus money is worth sitting on reserve for an extended period of time.
Yeah, it was $12,500 but I got a call yesterday and an email today that they raised it to $20,000 for the 145.

The 20k signing bonus is being offered to better their case in deltas lawsuit. They have to make an effort to recruit for the 145 in order to show the court the staffing issue is not their fault. The plan is to park all 145s by may 16th I believe. If you don't mind training, take the 20k with the expectation you'll be in a 170 class a few months later.
