...or if you just want to fly the mighty 175, tell people you fly a "real" airliner that has wing mounted engines, don't care about pay, live in your parents basement, and don't care about work rules because you are flying a big jet - screw the rest and work for republic!
I wish I was trolling, but I have been told EACH of those by former students or co-workers who now work at RAH. Repeat after me. We. Have. No. Leverage. |

I have a bit of a dilemma. I have 50 hours multi (enough to apply to Republic and Eagle), but I would like to apply to SkyWest which requires 100 multi. Should I apply to Republic and Eagle since I meet their mins, or bite the bullet and get my MEI and wait for multi students (which are few and far between) with the possibility of not getting to 100 hours by the time the new ATP rule takes effect in July 2014. If not, I have to jump through that hoop if I don't have my ATP by then. Any advice???
https://www.ameriflight.com/PilotRequirements.asp Oh ya, we had a republic Q400 driver in our jumpseat. Sounds like you want to avoid that place like the plague. Good guy though. Feel bad for him... |

Skywest is hard solid on 100 multi and this is from me talking to a recruiter 1 on 1 on October 25th. Hell their interns for that job shadow deal need 100multi.

The pay at all regionals suck, some just suck less than other. I would suspect there are people at Republic for other reasons, like being able to live in base.

Exactly. I enjoyed thinking to myself that flying around a 37 seat ERJ135 I got paid more than a 10 year FO flying around an airplane that has twice as many seats and probably 3 times the weight.

Cool it with AMF stuff. There are many other better paying 135 turbine freight gigs that AMF hasn't underbid yet. OMGTPIC
