You are experiencing the boom in the pilot market. One thing for sure, there will be a bust eventually. One year, five years, two days from now (ask the people who had sept 9th class date in2001). Timing is unknown.

At the same time, Dca is pretty stable now. According to the market report , it is the base with mot amount of departures now. The problem is , that doesn't reflect in the staffing method the company adopts. Will it change! Who knows.

Start the job, put your time in and enjoy living in base. Never assume anything and be prepared to jump to a different base or jump ship if it closes.

Welcome on board.

Default Parking

Does Republic provide parking at the bases (in particular, EWR, LGA, MIA or DCA)? Or, are we on our own for that?

It's paid for by the company.

What about at a commuter's base? Will they pay for parking there?

Reimbursed up to the rate at your domicile. Without looking it up I seem to recall it maxes out at $30/month...

But it's either or...parking at your base or where you commute from, not both.

I'm looking at all regionals with a base at ORD. Is it really senior at republic? I would hate to sit EWR/LGA for 6 months before being able to transfer. Thx.

Anyone care to address this:

As a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings, the satisfaction of the Company's liabilities and funding of ongoing operations are subject to uncertainty and, accordingly, there is a substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to emerge successfully from Chapter 11. If the Company is unable to generate additional working capital and or raise additional financing when needed, it may be required to suspend operations, sell assets or enter into a merger or other combination with a third party, any of which could adversely affect the Company's ability to reorganize. Additionally, in connection with the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing, material modifications could be made to the Company's fleet and capacity purchase agreements. These modifications could materially affect the Company's financial results going forward and could result in future impairment charges.
Sounds like things may not be so peachy there, and may not going forward. Still surprised someone would want to go there with the company painting a picture like that.

And for those who keep saying they won't touch your contract, I believe you're considered labor in the following:

The matters described herein, to the extent that they relate to future events or expectations, may be significantly affected by the Chapter 11 proceedings. Those proceedings will involve, or may result in, various restrictions on our activities, limitations on financing, the need to consult with the Creditors' Committee and other key stakeholders and to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval for various matters, and uncertainty as to relationships with vendors, suppliers, customers, labor and others with whom we may conduct or seek to conduct business. The Debtors cannot predict the impact, if any, that its Chapter 11 cases might have on these obligations.
They also talk about how labor expenses are going to continue to rise, while every other expense goes down. I can see them wanting to reduce ALL expenses.

Where did you get that information? That's not at all the tone used in our latest Corporate update, which we received just today. I'm not saying we hear all the sides of the story in our updates, but it sounds so far out of wack with what was said as to be confusing.

Good afternoon, I hope this message finds you well. Our team has been busy the past couple of weeks finalizing negotiations with our supplier base that supports our Ejet fleet, and obtaining restructured debt and lease agreements for the balance of our Ejets. I’m pleased to report that we now have certainty that eight of the nine 175 Ejets that were removed from the American Airlines operation in early September will be restored back into scheduled service with American in early January. We have also been focused on the initial draft of our Plan of Reorganization (POR), and our 2017 budgeting process. The POR is the document that spells out in detail how Republic (the Debtor) proposes to settle claims with its creditors and set forth the corporate structure upon emergence.
Our cash balances remain strong. Our $75 million DIP facility remains undrawn, and we do not anticipate a need to utilize the facility over the pendency of the case. In short, our recovery plan is working, and we are encouraged by our results.

I think I found your source.

That's a quarterly report for the first quarter 2016. (verification: search for an exact match on the paragraphs you quoted). There's been a lot of water under the bridge since then. Are we out of Chapter 11? No. Do things look as bleak now as they did in Q1 2016? Hardly. Has the pilot contract successfully survived Chapter 11? Thus far. While the concerns mentioned in your carefully picked quotes are worth considering, they are greatly out of date in the context of where the bankruptcy is today.
