Republic is still a great place to be at, frankly I think the best. Yes we haven't announced any additional flying, which has created a situation where we are slightly overstaffed. The company has adjusted by basically redistributed flying out in order to better use our pilots. (So people aren't just being paid to sit around.) Guys basically see this and start b***ching on here about it. There really isn't any doom and gloom. Endeavor is in the exact same boat lol.

They need to write volume 3.

If you look at all the regionals out there, every single one of them have had their good times and bad. While one place could be great now, it could be horrible the next week. I say if your sights are on republic, come. Doesn’t matter where you go-just because things are great now doesn’t necessarily mean that will be the case a few weeks, months, years from now. You’ll understand that when you get some 121 under your belt..

Personally, I have few gripes about this place..been here a little over 3 years. Pay could be worse, get a decent schedule, upgrade time is dropping significantly, and lots of bases to choose from. Plus the 170-175 is great. Culturally things are/have been turning around. Good luck

Doom and gloom? Lol then why are classes full for all of this year? This is still one of the better places to be. Go read the problems the other regionals have and you’ll realize our issues are nothing compared to theirs. This is a fine place to work.

People haven’t had much to complain about in a while so it’s about time for something to pop up. There is an issue next month with schedules but I don’t think it’s going to be long lived and it really wouldn’t affect you.

I hope that didn’t sound condescending, as it wasn’t to be. But it’s my honest opinion that I like working here and I have yet to fly with an FO that says they regret coming here.

Man, I hope I get to fly some trips with you when I get on the line. Some of the guys on here who for some reason just inherently think people born between 1980 and 2000 have no value as human beings is a bit discouraging (I know it’s APC). Good to see a captain with a positive outlook on here! So far my experience with the company and the culture here has been nothing but really positive.

Oh you’ll fly with me, or at least a lot of other CAs like me. There are plenty of us hired after 2014 that are pretty positive. The guys who survived the terrible times from 2001-2015 have every right to be disgruntled. But lots of us are fortunate enough to have missed that mess so we mostly have a different view. And that’s not to say they’re all like that. I really loved flying with more senior folks who have done this since I was in middle school. I hold great respect for them and I hope they get hired at mainline long before I do.

Stay positive, know the contract, treat others nicely, and you’ll find this job a fine place to stay for as long as you so desire.

I guess I just don’t see a bunch of negativity at YX. It’s not even close to what 2012 was, but things are pretty good now. Pilots complain about the company, but that’s normal at any airline. If the complaining gets out of hand in the cockpit, then speak up.

I’m not foolish enough to think management had an epiphany about treating their employees better. It was simply a business decision, which was mainly to attract pilots.

I agree with you. I hope what I said isn’t misinterpreted; I think an overwhelming majority of people are positive here. I certainly am. As a general rule, the most vocal online are the negatives. I myself rarely come on this site.

No worries my comment wasn’t directed at you, but just addressing some comments on this forum. Just pointing out most pilots are content at YX. Not even close to perfect, but still one of the best “regionals” out there.

For folks who have recently been through training or are scheduled for an upcoming class; has anyone printed off the YX study guide? I tend to do better with paper study materials versus PDF format. I priced the printing at FedEx for +$200.00. That’s a color print which would be more beneficial considering there are many color coded diagrams. If it’s not crucial to commit before training then I may just work with the PDF. Thanks for any input.
