Republic to hire 1,000 pilots

[Airline Driver]

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.

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.

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.

They seem to stick to the 1500/300. If you have less than 300, I doubt you get a call unless to went to "The Academy".

You win the dumbest comment of the morning award. Cause were crossing picket lines over here.

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.

You should have stated this in the initial statemant - I interpreted your comment as a slight on this Pilot group - my apologies!

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?

NWA has a habit of embittering all whom it touches! I hope we never fly red tails, although stranger things have happened.

The fact is that we have been getting mostly other 121 guys, with experience, applying here. They are mostly FOs, who are seeing that their career aspirations are not going to be realized anytime this decade at their present carriers. It's FAR from perfect here, but it's a good bunch of guys, who want to get on with their careers and ,for the most part, don't want to stay here for the long run.

....stay here for the long run.

Say it ain't so!

 

[TAWS]

It ain't so.



Is that what you wanted to hear?


Here, have another sip of Koolaid.

1500/300 is set and stone because of cheaper INSURANCE. Its ashame because there are many qualified applicants below these mins, even below 1000 hrs. there are MANY qualified applicants. With proper training and guidance, a pilot with average skills is perfectly able to make the transition to the RJ, or even the vaunted E-170, at or below 1000 hrs.

I interviewed at RAH a few weeks ago and all but 1 of applicants were CURRENT 121 regional...........2 were Captains!! The other was 135.

See ya'all on the 30th(first day of class).

The pull of a widebody

 

[Freightdog75]

The "pull" of having a job that should be around for a few years at least. It is a nice feeling to have a job with some security.

 

[TAWS]

Were they captains with MESA, Skyway, who??

 

[doh]

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.

I had an interview with them scheduled for Nov. Fortunately I got an offer from a much better place, so I didn't have to go to Indy. Good luck to all the captains who will be single pilot with the low timers they are going to hire!

Gotta say it's hard to buy that idea when they have been firm on the 1500/300 for awhile, and they have still been able to attract pilots from other regionals. As long as there are crappy places that people want to leave before they have their PIC turbine, RAH will be in good shape (as long as they continue to treat their people well).
