For guys who haven't started class, no need to panic. E170 Sims are in high demand, you've picked a company that will pay you while you wait with all of your benefits and seniority instead of delaying your date of hire like everywhere else.
Use the time to study, there are thousands of pages of training material to go through. This. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Is there anything you'd suggest to focus on in the study guide sent out? I heard from some to focus on flows but to start that after indoc.
Memory items and limitations. Go through ethos, study the AFM. Be able to talk about the switches, buttons all the systems of the aircraft. Study flows and call outs. If you think you’ve got a good handle on everything, keep studying! Pace yourself. Review. Everyday. Like your job depends on it. Remember, you’re still getting paid, so put at least 40 hours a week into it. Minimum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There was some talk about slowing down hiring, but they are not doing that at this time. They are planning years in advance and know the retirements both internally and at the Majors are coming. Plus there are big plans to expand, both organically and possibly through acquisitions (they will not do a merger). The order for 100 new aircraft will be additional aircrraft to our current fleet and will NOT be used to replace older aircraft. There is an option on the order for more planes, that will be used to replace older aircraft and possibly more growth, but that won't be until the mid 2020s. So in 5 years Republic's fleet could be 100 aircraft higher. That will take a lot more pilots then we currently have.

Nobody knows for sure unless somebody from recruiting/training posts in here which I highly doubt. It's not like they let the pilot group in on every detail. The only reason I knew is because I was around HQ recently.
The recruiting department is hitting it out of the park as far as the number of people they are bringing in. More then expected, and since sim time is booked (I am guessing here) months in advanced, maybe longer, it takes a while to adjust to the influx. Hence the delay in training.

Fact is that due to our Regional industry leading on time performance and reliability 2 out of the 3 Majors wants a lot more flying out of us and money is coming in to fund it. If republic does a acquisition, then most certainly that will result in a merger of seniority list. No the legacies do not care about your performance as much as they care about $$$. Past practice says they will go cheap. Any growth will have to result in mainline concessions (most likely UA), and god I hope they don’t give in! Although Kirby certainly hopes they give in to more RJs. Why would any regional slow down hiring now? |

Chancellor, it's not a part 117 thing, it's a YX company policy with roots/reasoning based in managing flight times and complying with 117. Bottom line, it's a company policy - once you're hired (to begin training as a FO/CA), no commercial flying of any kind, line status or not. looseombi, as Goose said, it's playing with fire - I'd stay away from violating a company policy that they explicitly go over... With that being said, it is a company policy to not fly for hire outside of Republic. I'm not going to advocate one way or the other on the subject, but remember a new hire has no protections from the union until their year mark when they come off probation and they could be terminated for any reason by the company. |
Does anyone know about the company policy on non-flying work while waiting for sims?
