Took two weeks from interview to get an email to schedule a call. I think they're just really busy right now. No news, could be ok news.

Applied Aug 11th

First call regarding interest in the FO position (which I was not able to pick up) - Sept 1st

Got an email to schedule my phone screen - Sept 20th

They might be calling people today as I got a call(10am)today to see if I was interested in the FO position. Seems to be calling people for the phone screen. Had to let her know I scheduled the phone screen already and that was it.

Not sure if this info helps anyone, but I guess some info is better than none. Ha!

Yep that's basically my experience. Applied on Aug 8, they called while I was flying on Sept 1st stating to email back with my interest. Yesterday they finally called again asking if I was still interested and if I hit my times. The woman I spoke to didn't seem to have a lot of information as I asked if she had an estimate for when the next call/email would be and she had no idea. I guess it's progress. Sounds like we're in the same boat though BlockO, although I never received a phone screen email.

Was trying to pm you, but I don’t have sufficient posts yet.

Ran into quite a few republic pilots on a social event I went to this past weekend and two were in the hiring panel. Both stated that they are short staffed on the hiring side of things as quiet a few were let go during Covid.

The recruiter that called me was S(didn’t want to give out her name) and the email I got was from K - basically click on a link and set your phone screen(seems to be about 5-7 days out from the email). Both essentially seem to be recruiters by title, but might be in charge of different tasks in hiring. Hang in there. It’s only a matter of time.

For those familiar with the phone screen process; is it pretty much a get to know you kinda thing or anything technical that I would want to brush up on? Thanks in advance.

Nothing technical. What is your aviation background, any accidents, etc. Should not last more than a couple minutes. After that they'll send an email to open a link and schedule your face to face interview.

Thanks for the info flybub.

Phone screen was done last Fri. Interview is scheduled for mid Oct(I choose those dates as it gave me time to study and prep for the interview).

A few questions.

For Jr pilots what would be the avg credit? I would assume it’s base and bid awarded, but just trying to gauge pay est.

To piggy back on a ques that was asked before to see if it’s been updated- how far out are class dates if you already have the flight time? Still about two months out?

And lastly, what your favorite/ least favorite part about republic?

Interviewed Aug 24 took three weeks (seems quite uncommon) to hear back with an offer. Nov 9 class

Wow! Three weeks? I would like to give at least 2 weeks at my current place before leaving. Sigh

Is that the earliest class date they were able to give you?

It took three weeks from my interview until they sent me the offer. I still have over a month until class. That was the earliest they gave me. They are hiring like crazy full classes starting every Tuesday.

Min credit is 75 hrs. You can usually pick up on days off and right now at 200% pay, (can't count on that though) I would guess you could easily credit 80-85, I've heard of a lot of folks doing closer to 100, but again, changes all the time.

I'll leave that to someone else, unless you've been hired recently or work in Talent Acquisition or training (neither is true for me),.....it's just rumor.

So far, the best thing to me has been the work rules vs a lot of the other regional players and the people I've worked with, mostly great folks and fun to spend a couple days with.
Least favorite, probably reserve duty, unfortunately a necessary evil for the new folks. We do have good work rules even here though, and it's pretty tolerable if you're lucky enough to live in base.
