New hire advice
Hey guys, new hire here sitting at home waiting for a class date. There has been lot of doom and gloom on here about the future of republic. What it sounds like is there is no flying coming and to stear clear of the company all together. Is there anyone on here that might have a different outlook. Or is that "KC guy" right and we should all just look elsewhere since its so bad here?

Keep your resume updated.

I can assure that YX as a company is not going under anytime soon. Does this mean that you as a pilot are not at risk? Absolutely not. Pilots sustain more of a career risk than any other. Furloughs, loss of medical, loss of certificate, etc. Mitigate the risk and have a plan B. APC has a lot of valuable information. However, you need to be very careful with certain posts you read. Learn how to identify pessimistic guys and ones that hold grudges toward a company and steer clear. These forums are often just used for ‘teenage venting.’ Start researching, start learning trends now because that’s the only individual comfort blanket you’ll get. Nobody knows what’s going to happen tomorrow. The biggest threat to all pilots in this country is a severe economic downturn or a collapse. This won’t just affect new hires, but go right up the seniority list as well. It’s a fact. I don’t know you or your situation, so only you can decide your career ventures. Have a plan B and enjoy the ride. The only thing constant in this industry is change. |

Educate yourself so you have a decent chance of at least understanding the issues that people grouse about. Cheapest education and experience you’ll get is to learn from the mistakes of others.
