The more scabs we have going to Republic, the better. I sure hope they are going to be haap to fly for a BS airline.

Republic is fast becoming the dominant small jet carrier.

2600 pilots by 2008? Skywest will have 2600 pilots by next month.

What this looks like is a ploy to attract more/better candidates in their new hire classes. Promise the moon to get people on the property then not deliver on the back side. By then its to late for the employee.

1000 new pilots is about 100 new airplanes. If they started taking deliveries today they would have to take delivery of over four airplanes per month for the next 23 months to meet that target. Considering that there is nothing substantial already in place (and there won't be for at least several more months) this looks like total BS.

And who do YOU work for again??????????????????????????

Who???

Pinnacle, you say?

I like it when Pinnacle people make mention of hiring "qualified candidates" - reminds me of the situation you guys had, when you hired all those PFT pukes, then you had to hire street captains because those A-holes didn't have enough PIC time in ANYTHING!!

Fact is that all the airlines are going to have trouble getting qualified candidtates pretty soon. PCL uses lies and trickery like this to luer would-be pilots onto the property too. Most people can recognise the PCL BS though and we end up scraping the bottom of the barrel for every new hire class. Republic suggesting that they are going to take delivery of a new airplane every week for the next two years though is a pretty fantastic story.

Never did I sugest that PCL was hireing the most qualified of the bunch anyways. The exact opposite is true. Why are you still so bitter anyway TAWS? Didn't you move on from the NW family? You should at peace with the world now, right?

So, does the company decide which one of the holding airlines you go to or is it a different application for all 3 subsidiaries?
Thanks..

It's 1 interview. You interview for all 3 Airlines. Republic, Shuttle & Chautauqua. They put you were they need you. They may ask you if you have a preferance on where you want to be based, but ultimatly your at the mercy of demand.

They are placing people at all 3 certificates. This whole 1000 pilot hiring ploy that is generating some interest is Company wide for all 3 certificates.

I know Republic needs about 500 pilots, because of the 175's and the Frontier flying. I just got back from recurrent ground school and every-day I was in Indy for training, they were interviewing 10-15 people a day and have been doing so for quite sometime now.

Good Luck to you. Despite all of what you here it's not a bad place to work. We have a really good contract and the pay rates for a regional are pretty good.

You are gonna have to qualify that remark. That was from out of left field and it is apparent you do not know what you are talking about.

Unless they grow the Purdue Road support staff by at least a quarter of that (training dept, scheduling, crew planning, payroll, etc) and pay those support personnel enough to stem the attrition, RAH's performance numbers are going to plummet despite the best effort of the crewmembers.

Thanks for the info. Where can i find more information about the contract? I am interested in reserve rules, commuting clause, mainly stuff on the QOL things. The pay information is online anyway.. Also, what do they do if you have <300 ME?

I'd help you out on the contract, but I'm not sure how to put a .pdf on here.
