I do not understand why any prospective new hire would even consider working at Republic.

Every other Regional can offer a better compensation package, better work rules, better soft pay, better PTO and a better 401K.

This isn't even included the 3.75 Year upgrade time we have and it's not coming down anytime soon.

This doesn't include the lack of flow and Republic will never ever have flow.

You could go to Endeavor and get a positive space commute from one of the turd bases Republic has if you are considering due to bases.

Hopefully someone has a good reason.

 

Nice first post. You were a member for 4 whole minutes before it. Congrats!

I have good quality of life. I live in base. I’m optimistic about the future. Sorry it’s not the same for you.

 

I hate this question but it works here, Why are YOU still at Republic? You say “we” so I assume you work at Republic but you know what they say about assuming. With Envoy offering $40K bonus and immediate upgrade with 121 time, along with Endeavor, Skywest, Horizon, and probably Piedmont and PSA offering pretty much immediate upgrades, if it’s so bad, why stay? Heck, the ULCCs would be happy to hire you with no TPIC time. Might not even be forced to make a lateral move.

 

No flow was actually one of the plus sides for me.

 

I’m also curious, which regional has better soft pay than us? Min day? No junior manning? No airport standby rsv? Average 14 days off for many people? No 6 leg days? Perhaps it’s not as grand if you’re at a senior base. But things are fine for many here.

 

a lifer probably that would love to see hiring go down to zero because he thinks it might be the only way to force management into pay increases. Shouting it on FB wasn't enough.

What I would like to know from Busdriver is more facts and specifics regarding "better work rules, better soft pay, better PTO and a better 401K." I'll add min day, junior manning, ready reserve...??

Comparison RAH vs Envoy, RAH vs Endeavor. especially Envoy....

 

Exactly what I thought. Pretty constructive for a first post.

Crediting 100 hours in the past 3 months with 15 days off.... Just saying.

 

Where's ironmandfw? This post is Taylor made for a response by him!

 

Not a lifer my time at RAH has gone and passed.
However I will entertain your comparison

EV's soft pay better is as followed.
100% DH Pay
ALL Open Time at 150% or 200%
Min day is 4.0 which is close enough.

PTO is as followed which isn't even close Republic is the WORST in the entire industry. Even Mesa has a better PTO plan.

Republic Has Ready RSV. They currently aren't using it. It's in the contract which I suggest you get to know.

Pay Rates which are factor #1 are miles better than anyone else.
You get a Delta Interview
UPG is less than a year.

Commuter Policy haha Republic's is a joke 2 times every six months. The company MAY positive space you when they see fit.

EV is unlimited and second attempt is a guaranteed seat to your base.

Republic doesn't have jr manning their per-diem is better and they have a trip and duty rig that is better.

UPG time which should be factor #2 is one of the highest in the industry at 3.75 years.

You should do your own homework. I clearly have. Republic is the WORST choice you can make.
