Republic Captain Upgrade?
Hello!, Well I'm new to this APC and I've been reading about a few regionals like Piedmont, Envoy, PSA and they all look very good but some people wrote about their captain upgrade being 3 years aprox from hire date. How does republic compare to these AAWO regionals when it comes to captain upgrade? Whats the benefit of Republic vs. these other regionals?

Right now republic upgrade is around 2 years. But that means nothing to anyone who is not already at republic and is next in line for upgrades. Upgrade times change so fast.
People come to republic for QOL, pay, equipment, and more flight time. As has been said many times, live in base.

You’ll need 1000hrs SIC 121 prior to upgrade so that’s at the very least a year and a half.

1) ATP Certificate
2) 2,500 TT
3) 500 multi-engine
4) 1,000 SIC in a 121 operation
