Minimum ME hours
I was reviewing flight time requirements for Republic on APC as well as their website and they both state 50 ME hours. It was my understanding that most airlines were taking 25 hrs these days with the rest made up during the ATP-CTP course. Can anyone confirm if this is the case for Republic? Thanks

Well 50 is ATP mins. I do believe they allow you to make up 25 in the Sim.

I don’t work at RPA, so take it for what it’s worth. I was in the jump seat of an RPA flight a few months ago that had a pilot recruiter operating the flight. I can’t remember the exact details, but basically RPA’s POI and/or the Indy FSDO has something against the simulator time..... or something.
In short... you’ll need the full 50 hours ME. In talking with their recruiters, and some of my coworkers that left my current outfit to go there, you MIGHT be allowed entrance with 38 hours because you’ll get 12 during the CTP. But it depends if you do CTP in house or not. So plan on 38-50 hours of ME.
Again, don’t work at RPA, so take it with a grain of salt.

Sounds like he may just be concerned with the multi requirement, but you never know I guess.

The company has a program to help people get that last bit of experience, but it cuts into your signing bonus if you use it. So it's basically you paying for the flight time.
