If I get “stuck” here, I’ll be making around $200K as a CKA by the time I retire.
Our CBA is the best in the regional industry, and our pay is near the top.
We get flight benefits on 3 legacy carriers.
New hires aren’t having to wait 6 months to show up.
Our Chief Pilot is a bad ass.
Our CEO isn’t a woke virtue signaler.
Masks aren’t required in the training center.
I like our uniform.
Our Union brings pizza to the training center.
The TownPlace in Indianapolis is nice and the shuttle drivers smile when I tip them.
Any other questions, sweetheart?

I’m a CFI finishing up my flight time, and Republic was at the top of my list of regionals to fly for.
Solid equipment, desirable bases that I could hold, efficient flying, high pay, good work rules, strong contract for soft pay, and overall a decent quality of life are all things that Republic seems to offer from what I’ve researched. I’d be happy if I ended up there.
As one of the previous guys mentioned, aside from Endeavor and SkyWest, the rest of the options don’t really seem too great.

This is a pretty damn good place to “end up.”
The tides turn really quick at the regional world. It's there to do your time and GTFO.
