With that said, FO/FO initial training isn’t too bad, as once you’re rolling down the runway, PF/PM duties are pretty much the same whether you are a CA or FO. Know your flows and call outs and you’ll be prepared and won’t let your sim partner down.

We were told to expect our own instructors using FSI equipment. This is awesome because the FSI guys, while capable instructors, would not know the Republic way of flying the airplane. Our guys expect us to fly the airplane the way they have taught us from day one, so this is a very good thing as it leads to less confusion and a checkride more consistent with our training.

Not fair to an FO that's upgrading to CA?? When I flew with a regional 10 years ago, my sim partner was upgrading to Captain. He had 7 years on the airplane as an FO, so it was a huge benefit to me and he said he learned from me as well. Matter of fact we are still great friends to this day.
It is defintely more to save money and also there are so many FOs being hired, it would be difficult to pair everyone up with an upgrading FO.

Flight benefits are active "at 30 days," but many of us had Delta and United bennies activated almost immediately. AA didn't come until about day 35. My advice is fill out all Workday items on day 1 and you'll have bennies by week's end typically.

Just came here to ask this question since I have an interview next week. I really hope this process gets more streamlined. It's like they didnt know the pilot shortage was coming...

I just came over from Piedmont, where 8 months after DOH, I’d not seen an airplane yet. I even waited 4 months between interview and start.
The AQP may change the timeline above, as well. (The email I got today with my next few weeks schedule mentioned “about 50%” would see a change to the schedule.)
