Republic Positives?
 

The Republic carriers have some bases that would work for me. (I know, they can change at the drop of a hat). Anyway, with the recent slamfest (justified as it may be) is there anything redeeming about Republic? Is there any part of working there that would be preferable to another regional?

Thanks,
Emma

The Jets are REALLY Shiny!

As with any regional, you will drop some weight because you cannot afford to eat.

Not really. Low pay. ( the fo pay increase the company will probably take away). Very long upgrades! Low quality of life.

Now all this might change with a new contract!

It's the same story for any regional. They all suck. Go to the one that you can potentially live in base.

Which comes first, the signing of the training contract, or your airline and base assignment? I ask because I'd like to hit the abort button (even if it's the first day of indoc) if I don't get one of the bases that I want.

I'm hoping they give you the airline and base with the employment offer....but that's probably just wishful thinking.

I draw the line at I don't want to deal with a crashpad/commuting with a regional gig.

Well that's a great attitude to go in with..

Good luck explaining to another carrier why you quit the first day of class at another regional.

There's nothing wrong with my attitude and you can't quit a job that you never had in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, you're not employed until you finish the paperwork with HR....usually done on the first day.

I don't believe there is anything wrong with your attitude or concerns. Should you get an interview, that would be the appropriate time to get an accurate answer to your question.
