That’s what they call fake news these days! The info is on APC for pay rates, but the actual contracts also have soft pay and benefits. Big difference paying 650 for Insurance or 150. Nice to have those commuter hotels and a good commuter clause. Do you like choice hotel brands or Marriott. Sounds like you would fly for minimum wage just to fly. That’s not a good thing!

Default If you live in PIT, IND or CMH then

It makes sense that’s about the only reason.

Republic doesn’t have brand preference on hotels. They don’t have a good commuter clause and they don’t have commuter hotels. Their insurance caps are no longer in effect so your health insurance is going to go up. My friends that are still there say it did. Republic is a dying airline with no growth in the horizon and zero career advancement.

So where can I buy a crystal ball? And how do you know where our guys are going when they leave? You’re just saying made up stuff and I have no idea what it means to you anyway.

Here’s the “made up” stuff from the union.
5 total pilots went to United in 2017
33 went to Delta
11 went to American 7 of which were active military fixed wing pilots.
19 CA’s went to ups and fedex 2 FO’s went to fedex all military. UPS won’t touch you unless your a CA with hours.


Here’s the breakdown of Americans and United’s hiring.

United is as followed
50% MIL, 25% Expressjet CPP, 10% total AWI and C5 CPP and 15% OTS civilians.
So good luck being apart of the 15%!

American is
60% flow, 30% MIL, 10% OTS civilian. Even worse luck!!

So unless you want to stay at Republic for life I suggest you go elsewhere.

Sorry facts are hard for you to grasp.

What am I missing that’s the real data I’m sorry it’s not what you were sold.

If you don’t believe me email the NC or the Eboard. They track these numbers for a reason. Where do you think I got them from?

So there’s no career progression yet you were here and are at mainline now. Ok.

Your obsession with hating republic is bizarre. Go enjoy your new job.

Only because I'm a legacy and I had several hands helping me from the inside. I was born into a golden ticket. Yes I realize that it is what it is. But go somewhere else that gets you to where you want to be. Working at Republic isn't helping you move on.
