I think this fixes a lot of the push back from punishing those who left. But honestly this at best matches other airline current offerings. 100k in bonus. If you leave you repay up to the amount given. If you invest the bonus and hold on to it. After a year or two get the chance to get to a major it ain’t a difficult choice to jump ship and give up 50k in bonuses (which you still have to stay another 2 years to be relived from). Hell as a second year Fo at a major you’re making just as much as a CA at a regional. This just puts them back at square one. Are they even offering this to current fos to upgrade?

I'll give republic credit in one area, they knocked it out of the park with the new training center. Not meaning it sarcastically, it's a really nice facility

Lack of foresight to predict how the retirement wave would impact the Regional industry and its ability to supply lift. All that money spent on a facility sitting mostly empty and will probably never see its full potential before Republic goes under.

Weren't the plans in motion before COVID? Hard to predict such an event.

Like a Football audible, shift half the line to the right. There are still the same number of men on the field.

I'm curious how this Employment Contract has effected RPA's school house. Has there been a decrease in the number of new hires showing up for class?

Hard to say other than that they are interviewing fresh 1500hr pilots for FO positions and running classes. Reports on aviationinterviews confirm this as well. I asked one of the pilots who recently went onsite for the interview and he said they did present the contract after they flew him out and wow'd him with their facilities. He accepted it. Had he said no, then they would have only invested a $1000 or so on airfare and hotel costs. I'm guessing this is the reason they don't tell people about it in the phone screen with a recruiter.
