Republic and PRIA
 
I have a friend who applied at Republic, and successfully interviewed. They asked him if he'd have to break a training contract to leave, in which he said yes, and the current 135 company would mark his PRIA as "not eligible for rehire". Republic didn't take too kindly to this, and it's now going to a review board. (The non rehire able part).

Is not being eligible for rehire a big deal in the 121 world?

Republic has had people break their training contract, so it might be more about that.

What does the PRIA Act have to do with this?

No. Because rah is one of the only regionals with a training contract, so if you break one to work at rah, why would they hire you or your friend? You catch my drift.

I have questions however.
A, why would one work at rah?
B, tell your friend its a blessing he didn't get the job.
C, pria doesn't have anything to do with it

PRIA contains records relating to training, evaluating safety etc. It is purely records. No opinion or company policy such as "not eligible for rehire" on there.

It sounds like the company in question gives the impression to current pilots that they will put a "mark" on their PRIA if they break contract but this is an empty threat.

Friends don't let friends work at Republic Airways Holdings

What Prior said. SJS being what it is, it's likely futile to say it, but RAH really is an awful place.

Having actually worked for RAH, I can tell you it is not an awful place. It's ridiculous to say this when you work at Mesa (which it appears that you do), or any other regional without having actually been employed at the targeted company. Takes away from any integrity you may have had before stating something like that.

Well you sir are wrong, as I did 2 years at RAH. But good try.

You are the minority as I have many friends that still work there and their life is miserable and they're all trying desperately to get out.

And in 2007/08, Republic was hiring 20-30 per month from Mesa (before the slow-down), hiring them on the spot, and some were quitting in the break room over the phone passing the phone from one guy to the next while they had the Chief Pilot on the line.

Today's ****ty place to work was yesterday's darling. And vice-versa. It's a vicious cycle.
