What do reserve times look like at MCI? Is it a good base for lots of flying for an FO?

18 months is quick. I think it will settle closer to the 2 year mark.

Even as attrition increases due to retirements at the majors and/or Republic continues to grow fleet size?

They'll try if they get the business.

And they’ll fail miserably. They haven’t even taken half of the Compass planes and are already feeling the pinch. My prediction, red flag like candy come July.

Any insights about Republic would be great. Yes, I've dug through the previous threads. Thanks in advance.

Yes, good place to go and get your time. However, the longer you stay, the more likely a disgruntled 18-20 year check airman who’s ****ed off they never went anywhere will ding you on something. So, get in and get out as quickly as you can.

Is this a recurring issue unique to Republic versus other regionals? Trying to find a company with descent reserve and upgrade times and also a good place to be if the music stops.

Don’t know about other regionals because this is the only regional i’ve worked at. Maybe I just got bad luck with that but it seems like those are the types I draw at training events. I could tell you stories, but obviously not in a public forum. This and dealing with Scheduleing been the main motivations for me to leave. Ask someone else and you’ll get a totally different answer.

Why do you think they'll fail to continue to grow and expand? I thought more Compass planes were coming 2020? What red flags do you foresee?
