Im currently looking at this place to attend as my choices while living here in Indiana are slim when using my post 9/11 bill. There is no chance ill be able to attend Purdue although it sounds nice. With 0 flight time im stuck looking for schools who have associate degrees attached to their program or i can't get funded by the VA anyway. Even being a complete noob this place sounds sketchy. I have not seen nor heard about any contracts (as of yet) that would require to fly with them for X amount of yrs. Best thing you could hope is to stay here in Indy as a CFI and fly with Republic. In my case i have to apply thru Vincennes University which is 144 miles away. Then attend training in Indy..which is way closer. They say the 2yr associates transfers into Purdue for two more yrs if you want a Bach. All i know is right now being new im confused on who trust with my post 9/11 bill money. I think im going to keep looking for more options out of state. If you want anymore info i can try to find out. Apologies for the long post and thank you guys ive learned lots from simply standing back and reading these posts.
You can look into Southern Illinois University, knocked out my flight training in 2 years but came in with prior college though.

Well it says in the article that they are replacing 25 CRJ700s. Looking at operators, GoJet has 25 CRJ700 which are owned by TSH, setting up the possibility of a merger as everyone is rumoring

Just to fuel the merger rumor... isn’t RAH owned, IN PART, by United (and actually IN PART by all three majors?)?
What’s there to say UA/YX didn’t have a meeting that said “we’re buying TSH, and G7 is going away, so you might want to figure out how to cover their lift for you”.
This is far fetched and only MY interpretation of events going on. Literally have no information, so take this for what it’s worth. I just got done with a long day of flying and pondering the meaning of the universe.
TSA’s 145s go to ExpressJet (see: UA investing into ExpressJet a few months ago). The AA planes go to PDT/ENY.
G7’s DL planes go to EDV/SKW. The UA planes go to SKW/AWI, IF AWI can figure out staffing and their contract. I know this is a BIG “if”. But they did just break ground on a multi million dollar facility in ATW that can hold “4 CRJ 200s, or 3 larger RJs”. Since ZW is privately owned, I can’t see their owners pouring money down the drain if they don’t have something up the sleeve. They’d try to get out with as much money as possible. Plus, ZW is getting more and more routes out of DEN, with a rumored DEN hub...
CPZ gets merged into RPA for planes/pilots/routes.
This would give RPA more pilots and a recruiting tool to help with their staffing as the shortage gets worse. This could also potentially help with DL’s goal of getting down to “3 connection carriers”. I’ve heard rumors of DL wanting their 3 Connection carriers to operate CRJs and Ejets. So maybe.. just maybe... G7 gets merged into RPA and CPZ goes to EDV. That would give SKW, RPA, and EDV all CRJs and ERJs. Plus, Delta owns a portion of RAH, I believe.
I don’t know anything. It’s late at night and I’m tired. But this is my bet. 🤷🏻*♂️
