Republic Airways Holdings chairman, president and CEO Bryan Bedford said FAA’s requirement that pilots accumulate 1,500 flying hours before being hired by an airline is “leading to nationwide problems” and needs to be ...
I'd bet 90% of new hires don't even have 1,500 hours. Almost all are restricted ATP or whatever it is. Pay more and you might actually get someone qualified to do it!

they are downing sizing republic, even if you get a line your not really off reserve. for new hires plan a year before you get a line. 4-5 hotels a month when you do. 8 year upgrade. go to compass, psa, mesa, piedmont.

Republic Questions
It's really hard to gauge the upgrade because of the lack of hiring between 08'-11' plus RAH's unknown contract situation in the next year... attrition seems to be taking care of the downsizing and they are not hiring like crazy. I think if RAH gets a decent contract it may not be a bad place to go. It's anyone's guess though...

But after early next year, that stops, and there will still be 60 145s to go away.

60? No, only 37. That will be offset by additional 170s to be announced in the near future.

Actually I think those 170s are going to PDT since they will vote in their concessions tomorrow to get those jets.

Republic was a good place to go 10 years ago, but not now. If you go there do not base your decision on anything HR tells you ( you will upgrade in a year, we will have a new contract in a year, FOs are getting a pay raise, etc). They will say anything to get pilots right now. Upgrade will never be a very long time, especially when the 145s go to the boneyard. Much better places to go,so do your research.
