Agreed.
But I can’t support people who believe Republic’s name is damaging to their chances. Look at the individual that’s applying.
Personally, if something doesn’t go my way, then the first thing I look at/blame is myself before I even consider any outside factors and it works! I don’t want to generalize, but you seldom see this discipline this day and age. It’s always somebody else’s fault.

Well on that I certainly agree with you 100%. You have to have personal accountability.
What I think people are struggling to get at, myself included, is why the disparity? Sure we have a more senior group that is likely not trying as hard as a more junior group like Compass. Is that the only reason though?

And where are the stats that show how many guys applied? Or how many years they had in? Training failures? Background issues? Years of education? GPA? Interest in mainline to begin with? Was mainline hiring? Etc....
The point being these are just dry numbers. You can’t justify anything off of these stats without knowing any of the above mentioned. Republic does not have a flow.... Your the flow!
The guys with military experience have a “full” resume. They can check the “volunteer” box and possibly “leadership” box depending on what they did. Civilians need to put effort into that in order to be competitive and this doesn’t necessarily mean “leadership” positions at the airline or union.
Unfortunately, the regionals set a bad example during their hiring sprees. There is no “pilot shortage” at mainline, so it involves selling yourself to get a job and a lot of younger guys with no experience outside of being a CFI or just the aviation industry have a hard time demonstrating this and lack the effort because they were “handed” their first 121 job. The regional bought them... What I’m seeing nowadays is guys who are just flight hour motivated, which is really the last thing that makes you competitive.
If you’re going to use dry statistics like these to base your decisions off of without using basic logic then you’re making a mistake.

No it’s not because every pilot has a check ride failure, no degree, felon, or just sucks. Many instructors have at least BA degrees and some have MS degrees and aren’t getting called. I will concede we probably have a segment at YX who are lifers, but that still doesn’t account for the small numbers moving on to big 3. Some choose to believe that management at YX and would never do anything unethical. From my experience that’s simply not the case, but I eagerly await them proving me wrong.

JetBlue has swept up RAH pilots for years. They have actually stated to new hires that they like the way our pilots are trained. Whatever that means... but it’s a plus for the company.
As far as mainline, it could be we have less people putting in the effort, it could be luck of draw, nobody knows unless we can compare ALL regional pilots to one another. I wouldn’t blame the name though.

In my recruiting materials, there’s a chart that says 24% of the pilots who leave go to one of the legacies. Next one down is Southwest at 19%. After that is all the Spirits, Allegiants, etc. So actually, according to that chart, Southwest is #1 at 19%, and the legacies average 8% each.

Premium pay being offered for extra flying today and tomorrow. But there’s only 2 trips in open time. Everyone, including myself, is saying we’re over staffed, then this happens.
Anyone know what’s going on? Are we picking up flying for someone?

My thoughts exactly, it’s hilarious. They’re still not filling classes. This summer it’s gonna be “ExpressJet operated by Republic Airways”......

Great news for those of us wanting IAH, I suppose! I can probably leverage that to sit out-of-base reserve some in IAH if we're going to be covering a bunch of their flying.
