What are the odds of getting a DEN base for a new hire? Don't really care what equipment.

Slim to none. DEN is really senior on the Q and the Ejet base is closing.

Actually about 15 2007 hires at top of phl fo list. Btw I have not heard of the bait and switch routine being confirmed in regards to the Q400. Republic can suck but lets keep the facts straight.

Never rely on the rumors of "it will get better" Good luck guys.

Any truth to the rumors that they are baiting then switching? Have heard several second and third hand stories of classes being told on day 2 or 3 that they are being switched to the Q.

I have also heard this to be true. Don't fall for their antics! They will do whatever they can to fill their needs, including lying directly to your face.

JEt A ...

You should care... the q400 program is a mess... you will spend a lot of time at the airport for cancelled flights NOT getting paid. No cancellation pay.

Dont come here unless you absolutely have no other choice. There will be no new contract or improvement anywhere in the foreseeable future.

Ive heard the bait and switch story... if it is true, it would not be the first time Republic has done that.
